"The ball landed in Frelick's glove before popping out and hitting the top of the wall, with Frelick snagging the ball off the carom. As the play unfolded, it was tough for viewers and more crucially, Dodgers baserunners to tell if Frelick caught the ball. Teoscar Hernandez, who has on third, stayed on the bag preparing to tag up if Frelick caught the ball. Once the ball hit Frelick's glove, Hernandez briefly broke for home."
"Will Smith, who was the runner on second base, stayed at second, even though the force was on, which meant he should have broken for third. After catching the second out at home, Brewers catcher William Contreras opted to jog to third base to tag the bag for the third out. Amid the confusion, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts challenged the call, which was confirmed. A high view of the stadium shows the chaotic play."
In Game 1 of the NLCS, Max Muncy hit a deep fly to center where Sal Frelick leaped above the wall and momentarily secured the ball before it popped out and caromed off the wall. Teoscar Hernandez at third hesitated between tagging up and retreating after the ball came out, briefly breaking for home before returning to third. Frelick's throw to cutoff man Joey Ortiz beat Hernandez for a force out at the plate. Will Smith remained at second despite the force, and William Contreras stepped on third for the final out. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts challenged the call and the ruling was confirmed.
