The Milwaukee Brewers are sensing blood in the water, seeing the Tampa Bay Rays on the ropes in Game 3 of the World Series. Even with the Brewers having taken a 10-0 lead in the fifth inning after they scored eight in quick succession, the team wasn’t just about to let their foot off the gas pedal. In fact, right fielder Sal Frelick is still leaving it all on the line to prevent the Rays from getting any traction on offense.
With one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, Ben Williamson came to the plate to try and ignite some sort of a rally for the Rays. Williamson then blooped a 1-2 pitch to shallow right, forcing Frelick, who was stationed a bit deep, to scramble forward. He would then have to lay out to make a catch, and the ball nestled into his glove for the second out of the inning.

On the field is where Frelick butters his bread. The Brewers love him because of his surehandedness in the outfield, and surely enough, even in a game where they’re leading by 10 runs, he’s still willing to hustle and sacrifice his body to get every out he can for his team.
Frelick has come up huge already for the Brewers in the World Series. In Game 2, he hit a long ball to tie the game for Milwaukee after they fell behind by four runs in the first inning. Milwaukee would of course go on to win that ballgame, 5-4, setting themselves up nicely with a 2-0 lead in the series heading onto the road.
Now, the Brewers are just one win away from breaking through. They took a 10-1 win in Game 3, extending their lead in the series to 3-0. Milwaukee just needs to keep on doing what they’ve been doing — scoring timely runs, nailing down the fundamentals on the field, and executing on the mound — to finally earn their first World Series title in franchise history.
