Story summary

The Tampa Bay Rays kept their World Series hopes alive by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers with a late-game, 4-3 win in extra innings on October 28, forcing Game 5 of the series. The decisive plays occurred in the bottom of the 12th inning when Jonny DeLuca and pinch-hitter Ben Williamson singled home runs to clinch the victory for Tampa Bay after six scoreless innings following a tie at three. This win staved off World Series elimination, as the Rays had previously lost Games 3 and 4 before this dramatic comeback.

Game 5 was played on October 28 in St. Petersburg, with the Brewers aiming to finish the series but facing another challenge from their resilient opponents. The game started at 8:08 p.m. local time and concluded past midnight after a tense, 4-hour and 20-minute contest.
