Rays force Game 5 with stunning 12-inning World Series comeback
The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in 12 innings to avoid elimination and force a Game 5 on Wednesday.
The Milwaukee Brewers came within one win of their first World Series title after routing the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in Game 3, taking a 3-0 series lead. However, the Rays rallied dramatically in Game 4 on Tuesday night, forcing 12 innings before securing a 4-3 victory to stay alive in the best-of-seven series. Brewers rookie Cooper Pratt appeared to have sealed Milwaukee's championship when he hit a solo home run in the top of the 12th to break a 2-2 tie, but the Rays answered in the bottom half. A throwing error and two singles, including a clutch hit by pinch-hitter Ben Williamson, drove in the tying and winning runs. The Brewers still lead the series 3-1, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night in St Petersburg.
