Jake Bauers Sparks Brewers With Epic 12-Pitch Walk in NLCS

Milwaukee Brewers player Jake Bauers drew a grueling 12-pitch walk off Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the third inning of NLCS Game 2, lasting over seven minutes and fouling off six pitches. The pivotal at-bat loaded the bases, setting up Christian Yelich's go-ahead two-RBI single in a 7-4 win that gave Milwaukee a 2-0 series lead. Manager Pat Murphy called the epic plate appearance a major turning point that changed the momentum and put the opposing ace under severe pressure.
