Quick Summary

The article reports on Game 4 of the World Series between two unnamed teams, focusing on how the Rays managed to extend the game and the season despite the imminent threat of a labor lockout that could delay the start of the next baseball season for months. In the bottom of the 12th inning, after the Brewers were one out away from winning their first championship, an error by Brewer third baseman Joey Ortiz led to a series of events culminating in a walk-off single by pinch hitter Ben Williamson, securing a 4-3 victory for the Rays and setting up Game 5.
