Rays Stay Alive in World Series, But History Favors Brewers

After a hard-fought Game 4, the Tampa Bay Rays secured a 4-3 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers, keeping their World Series hopes alive and setting up a crucial fifth game. Rookie Cooper Pratt's solo home run in the top of the 12th inning gave Milwaukee the lead, but Tampa Bay responded with a rally that saw Junior Caminero reach on an error, Liam Hicks deliver a single, Cedric Mullins score from third base, and pinch hitter Ben Williamson deliver the walk-off single.

Ben Williamson, who had struggled at the plate during the postseason, hit the decisive run-scoring ground ball. The Rays had only a slim chance of overcoming a 3-0 deficit, as only four teams in history have managed to do so and lost the following game. With the Brewers leading the best-of-seven series 3-1, Tampa Bay must now win Game 5 and force a Game 6 at Milwaukee to have a chance at winning the championship.
