It was absolute chaos in Milwaukee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A wild sequence of events played out in the top of the fourth inning when Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick had a home run-robbing catch pop out of his glove, creating one of the wackiest postseason moments in recent memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the bases loaded and Dodgers infielder Max Muncy at the plate and one out, he hit a long ball towards the center field wall, sending Frelick on a chase. The outfielder snagged the ball at the wall, but it popped out before he was able to gain full control of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frelick quickly flung the ball to shortstop Joey Ortiz, who whipped the ball to catcher William Contreras in time to get Teoscar Hernandez on the force out at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Brewers completed the miraculous double-play by getting Will Smith out at third for the final out of the inning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Frelick, likely mirroring just about everyone watching at home and at American Family Field, looked stunned and was trying to process what just happened before cracking a smile after realizing what just occurred.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dodgers challenged the call, but after a review, the umps ruled the call on the field stood, confirming the force outs at home plate and third base.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the ball came out of Frelick\u2019s glove and hit off the wall before falling back into his glove, it was considered live and not a catch, meaning that the runners had to advance and set up force plays at any base.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the Dodger runners didn\u2019t seem to know if it was a catch or not, there was confusion on the bases, allowing for the bizarre moment to occur.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Brewers went down in order in the bottom half of the inning and the game remained knotted at zero until Freddie Freeman put the Dodgers ahead with a solo home run. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was absolute chaos in Milwaukee.\u00a0 A wild sequence of events played out in the top of the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":302010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[51,4247,1266,61637,50,62,52],"class_list":{"0":"post-302009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-mlb-playoffs","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115371261516786536","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
