The Nationals pulled off a dramatic late-game comeback to beat the Brewers and advance past the wild-card round of the playoffs, with 20-year-old budding star Juan Soto as the hero.
Soto came to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning, with his team trailing 3-1, and the bases loaded. There were two outs at the time, and a rally killer would’ve likely thwarted the team’s chances of pulling off a comeback.
But Soto delivered, in a big way, raking a single to right. The ball rolled by the Brewers outfielder, for an error, and the 20-year-old star ended up with a bases-clearing double, giving his team a 4-3 lead, and the eventual win just 10 minutes later.

Soto celebrated so hard with his dad after the game that he was actually tackled to the ground by his old man.
