Mets Aren’t Done Yet: Guess what Bats Sends Back to Los Angeles

NEW YORK — After a crushing 10-2 defeat in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series, the New York Mets faced elimination with determination.

Pete Alonso, dismissing thoughts of possibly playing his last game as a Met, launched a 432-foot three-run homer in the first inning of Game 5, signaling the start of an explosive offensive performance.

The Mets’ offense erupted in a 12-6 victory, leveling the series 3-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers and extending their season.

With 14 hits and an impressive performance with runners in scoring position, the Mets scored 10 runs in just four innings, showcasing a potent lineup that refused to back down.

The atmosphere at Citi Field was electric, highlighted by a performance from The Temptations, as fans rallied behind their team. Francisco Lindor, who contributed significantly, scored after Alonso’s homer and later added to the lead with a triple.

David Peterson, though not dominant, managed to navigate early trouble, keeping the Dodgers at bay when it mattered most. As the Mets prepare for Game 6 in Los Angeles, they carry momentum and a renewed sense of hope.
