DeLuca and Williamson turn Game 4 around in ESPN's recap

The compact highlights passed 100,000 views as commenters compared Tampa Bay's escape with Boston's famous comeback.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 103,717 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (9,023).

Cooper Pratt puts Milwaukee on the brink of a championship. Thirteen seconds later in ESPN MLB's recap, Tampa Bay is level again. The editing makes a long night's reversal happen fast.

The Short packs the Rays' extra-inning escape into less than two minutes: Jonny DeLuca singles home the tying run, then Ben Williamson delivers the walk-off hit that prevents a World Series sweep. Earlier leads, a throwing error and two Brewers home runs all fit before that final turn.

It drew more than 100,000 views in its first day, roughly eleven times the channel's usual start for a Short. The comments were nearly ten times as busy as usual, too. Several viewers specifically discuss the convenience of getting the game in such a compact package.

Others reach for the 2004 Red Sox, remembering another team that survived an extra-inning elimination game while trailing a series by three games. That is a historical comparison, not how this series ultimately played out.

ESPN MLB has since posted the conclusion: Milwaukee won Game 5 to claim its first World Series championship. This clip preserves the night Tampa Bay made the Brewers wait.
