LISTEN: Mets, Brewers radio calls of Pete Alonso’s ninth-inning home run

For 3 many years, Howie Rose has been the voice of some nice Mets moments, however now he can add Thursday night time’s Sport 3 Wild Card win towards the Brewers as one in every of them.

When Pete Alonso got here as much as bat together with his Mets down 2-0, Rose was getting amped. New York had simply put runners on the corners with one out, and Alonso had an opportunity to do some injury. Even higher, the slugging first baseman labored the rely to 3-1 on Brewers nearer Devin Williams.

To stop loading the bases, Williams must get one thing over the plate, and did he. Alonso launched an 86 mph changeup the opposite manner, over the right-field wall to present the Mets a lead they would not relinquish.

And Rose, on ESPN New York 880 radio, had the proper name.

“Swing and a fly ball to proper subject. Fairly properly hit. [Sal] Frelick again, on the wall. He jumps, it is gone! He did it! He did it!” Rose mentioned. “Pete Alonso with probably the most memorable house run of his profession.”

As radio followers know, there are normally two sides to each name. Legendary Brewers announcer Bob Uecker was on the decision and his recounting of occasions was, understandably, not as enthusiastic.

“And the pitch, hit within the air to proper. Deep, warning monitor and gone,” Uecker mentioned. “Peter Alonso simply put New York on high on this one with a three-run house run to proper subject. And identical to that, a 2-0 lead is now a 3-2 deficit. That shortly. Wow.”

The 90-year-old broadcaster has seen his fair proportion of nice moments, however even he was left nearly speechless by Alonso’s blast, which despatched the Mets to the NLDS and the Brewers — the NL Central champions — to start out their offseason.
