The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Game 4 of the World Series, extending the best-of-seven series to a fifth game at Tropicana Field on Wednesday night. Both reports said Tampa Bay avoided elimination with a two-run extra-inning rally.

The accounts differed on the inning and final sequence. NPR reported that Ben Williamson hit a game-winning RBI single off Shane Drohan in the 12th inning. Fox News reported the Rays scored twice in the 13th after Cooper Pratt gave Milwaukee a 3-2 lead with a solo homer in the top half; it said an error put Junior Caminero aboard before Liam Hicks singled. NPR said Tampa Bay was the fourth team in World Series history to avoid elimination through an extra-inning comeback.
