Brewers Pull Off Historic Double Play in NLCS
In a thrilling turn of events, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled off an extraordinary double play during the National League Championship Series, leaving fans and players alike astonished.
The drama unfolded in the fourth inning when Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers sent a long drive to center field with the bases loaded. Sal Frelick of the Brewers leaped and reached over the wall in a valiant attempt to catch the ball. However, the ball popped out of his glove and hit the top of the fence before Frelick secured it in the air. The Dodgers' runners, including Will Smith, initially thought the ball was caught on the fly and scrambled back to their bases.
In a swift and clever response, Frelick threw to shortstop Joey Ortiz, who fired a strike to catcher William Contreras. Contreras then threw to third base, forcing out Will Smith, who had retreated to second base believing Frelick had made a clean catch. This remarkable sequence of events resulted in an all-time historic double play, ending the inning with forceouts at home and third base. A replay review confirmed the forceouts, much to the dismay of the Dodgers who challenged the call.
The Brewers' exceptional defensive play has been widely praised by fans on social media, with many expressing their astonishment at the team's quick thinking and agility. This play is sure to be remembered as one of the most memorable moments in the National League Championship Series.
