Mets Comeback Stuns Brewers

Against all odds on Thursday night the Brewers were eliminated from the MLB postseason. Having scored the only two runs in the game during the seventh inning, things looked good for Milwaukee heading into the ninth

But Pete Alonso of the Mets had other ideas, with his home run in the final inning saving the day for New York who advanced to a Divisional Round matchup against the number one seeded Phillies.

Speaking after the game-clinching homer, Alonso said: “Words can’t explain. Words can’t explain. I’m just so excited right now. It was so exciting. I’m just so happy that I could come through.”

There isn’t much time for the Mets to recover from their win on Thursday, as the first game in the Divisional Round comes up on Saturday afternoon.

Although the Mets come into the next round of the playoffs a marginal underdogs against the Phillies, New York have built an impressive team this year and they could go on a special run in the World Series.
