Pete Alonso picked just the right moment to awaken, resurrecting the Mets season along with him.

On the verge of extinction from the postseason, Alonso’s potential final at-bat in a Mets uniform instead turned into his biggest moment yet with the organization.

Alonso hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning against Milwaukee closer Devin Williams, catapulting the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series at American Family Field.

The Mets, who won their first postseason series since 2015, got the final three outs from David Peterson and advanced to the NLDS beginning on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Held to two hits over the first eight innings, the Mets erupted in the ninth against Williams. 

Francisco Lindor walked and Brandon Nimmo singled with one out before Alonso, who is eligible for free agency after the season, cleared the right-field fence.

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady shared a tribute to his longtime former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick following the team’s announcement to part ways with the six-time Super Bowl champion.

“I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL,” Brady wrote in an Instagram post. “He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. He worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport.”  

“He set the tone for the organization, to never Falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB.” 

“I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next.” 

With their split of Monday’s doubleheader over the Braves, the Mets are in the playoffs for the second time in three years. After a brief 24 hour respite, the Mets return to Milwaukee and the not so friendly confines of American Family Field to play the Brewers in a three-game Wild Card series. 

The games air on ESPN. Broadcasting the game will be Jon “Boog” Sciambi, former Cubs, Phillies, and Rangers outfielder Doug Glanville and Jesse Rogers. The game will also available on the ESPN app and on ESPN+. 

The Mets’ usual television home, SNY, will feature extensive pre and post-game shows before and after each playoff game. 

The Mets’ home radio broadcast will be anchored by Howie Rose, alongside Keith Raad, with Pat McCarthy doing pre and post-game coverage on 880 AM locally and via the Audacy app through the Audacy Mets Radio Network.
