mud toasted alternator cause dead battery and etc..?

i went muddin a couple of times last couple of days, didnt rly wash my engine off well enough, but it was fine. my check battery light came on though.

now today, it just straight up died. acts like a total dead battery. radio turned off, windsheild wipers and windows go into slow motion, and i cant get out of park. i hook up with jumper cables, BAM, everything is good. unhook in nutral, it stays running, but not so pretty. everything dies again, and i cant break like 10% acceleration on the gas pedal.

my guess would be the alternator is fried and hence the battery dieing, so i either need to fix the alt and see if i cant get my battery back up to par, or worst case, new alt and battery.

what do ya'lls think? lol
