Game 1 of the NLCS produced one of the most chaotic moments in baseball history. The Milwaukee Brewers hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday for the opener of their best-of-seven series. In the fourth inning at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Dodgers loaded the bases against Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester with one out and the score tied 0-0. Dodgers infielder Max Muncy then turned on a pitch from Priester that looked like it might be a grand slam. But Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick got a glove on the ball and prevented it from leaving the yard. The ball then caromed off the wall and was caught by Frelick. However, because it caromed off the wall, the ball remained live by the rule and created a force play rather than a tag-up situation. That led to an absolutely manic sequence in which the three Dodgers baserunners seemed unsure what to do. Frelick threw the ball to the cutoff man, Joey Ortiz, and Ortiz delivered the throw to the plate before lead runner Teoscar Hernandez could touch home. Brewers catcher William Contreras then noticed that Dodgers catcher Will Smith had retreated to second base. Contreras stepped on third himself and recorded the third out of the inning. Take a look at the unbelievable video.
