The Tampa Bay Rays avoided elimination with a 4-3, 12-inning victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field. Milwaukee still leads the best-of-seven series 3-1 and remains one win from its first championship.

Milwaukee rookie Cooper Pratt opened the 12th with a solo home run, his fourth hit of the game, to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead. Tampa Bay answered after Junior Caminero reached on third baseman Joey Ortiz’s throwing error. Liam Hicks singled, and pinch-runner Cedric Mullins scored the tying run on Jonny DeLuca’s single to center.

Chandler Simpson then singled to load the bases before pinch-hitter Ben Williamson drove a ground ball over first baseman Jake Bauers and into right field, bringing home the winning run. Williamson entered the at-bat 1-for-15 during the postseason.

The win followed Milwaukee’s 10-1 rout in Game 3, when the Brewers scored eight runs in the fifth inning and rookie left-hander Robert Gasser held Tampa Bay to one hit through six innings. Milwaukee had opened the series with a 3-2 victory, surviving a ninth-inning replay reversal before closer Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners at second and third.

Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday. Tampa Bay must win three consecutive games to claim the title, while Milwaukee needs one victory to clinch the series.
