The Brewers pulled off the first 8-6-2 double play in MLB postseason history against the Los Angeles Dodgers during Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Monday night.

With the bases loaded and one out in the fourth inning and the game still scoreless, Max Muncy hit a deep fly ball to center field. Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick was tracking the ball, and as he leaped to catch it, the ball bounced off his glove, then hit the wall and went back into his glove.

Muncy was not out because the ball hit the wall, but the Dodgers' runners seemingly thought the ball was caught because they tagged up instead of taking off for the next base.

"I saw it floating there," Frelick said after the Dodgers' 2-1 win. "So, I grabbed it and fired it in to [shortstop] Joey [Ortiz] because I saw Teoscar [Hernandez] was going back to third to tag."

After unnecessarily tagging, Hernandez took off for home, but not before Ortiz fired a perfect strike to catcher William Contreras, forcing Hernandez out at the plate.

"I was just listening to what [second baseman] Brice [Turang] was telling me," Ortiz said. "He was doing a good job, letting me know to go [for home plate]."

And the odds of this happening? 

1 in 50,000–200,000.  So we are talking a $50,000 payout minimum on a $100 bet.
