Rallying Rays join rare company by forcing Game 5 facing 3-0 deficit

ST. PETERSBURG — Game 4 of the World Series at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night was a great encapsulation of why baseball is the best. Twelve tight innings. Multiple potential heroes. Records set. This wild game had everything. And in the end, the result – a 4-3 Rays win over The Rays have joined rare company by forcing Game 5 against a 3-0 deficit in the World Series, becoming the 44th team to fall behind 3-1 in any best-of-seven postseason series and just the 11th to avoid a sweep. The Rays won 4-3 over the Brewers in 12 innings, marking the 17th walk-off win by a team facing elimination in World Series history. The only other team to walk off facing a World Series sweep was the 1910 Cubs. Cooper Pratt and Jackson Chourio have been noted for their contributions to the Brewers, with Pratt becoming the youngest player with a four-hit World Series game since 1946. Chouria's 10 hits in the first four games are tied for the most in the history with Babe Ruth in 1928.
