Rays Stun Brewers in 12th Inning to Avoid World Series Sweep

The Tampa Bay Rays staved off elimination in the World Series on Wednesday night, outlasting the Milwaukee Brewers in a 12-inning thriller, according to Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports. The win prevented Milwaukee from completing a four-game sweep of the series.

The game was tied at 2-2 before Brewers rookie Cooper Pratt broke the deadlock with a home run in the top of the 12th inning, according to Yahoo Sports. The 22-year-old's blast marked a historic moment for the young player in his first World Series appearance.

Tampa Bay answered immediately in the bottom half of the inning. According to Fox Sports, the Rays mounted pressure on Milwaukee's pitching staff, and Ben Williamson delivered the decisive blow with a walk-off single to secure the extra-innings victory, as reported by Yahoo Sports.

The result extends the series, with the Rays looking to continue their comeback bid after facing a potential sweep.
