NEW YORK -- Pete Alonso's improbable home run set the tone for the night.

The Mets first baseman hit a first-inning slider from the Dodgers' Jack Flaherty at his feet to deep center field, a three-run, 432-foot blast that put the Mets' offense in gear in an eventual 12-6, season-saving win in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Friday.

The home run wasn't a pitching mistake as much as it was a hitting marvel.

Alonso made contact on a pitch that was just 1.12 feet above the ground, the second-lowest ball hit for a home run in the postseason in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).
