Former Frog Williamson Walks Off Brewers In Game Four Of World Series

October 27, 2026 — ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.: Former Everett AquaSox infielder Ben Williamson delivered on Major League Baseball’s biggest stage Tuesday night at Tropicana Field, chopping an opposite-field, walk-off RBI single during the bottom of the 12th inning to help the Tampa Bay Rays defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Game Four of the 2026 World Series presented by Capital One.

Tied 2-2 after five innings, neither the Brewers or Rays scored during the remainder of the game’s originally-planned nine innings. Extra innings faced a gridlock across its first two frames as well, keeping the game’s knot intact through the end of the 11th inning.

Milwaukee shortstop Cooper Pratt opened the top of the 12th inning with what felt like a series-crushing blow for the Rays. Down 3-0 in the series entering Tuesday’s Game Four, Pratt’s powerful strike gave the Brewers a one-run lead, positioning them just three outs away from their first World Series victory in franchise history. However, late-game resilience from the Rays offense wrote a different story.

Tampa Bay found a spark to lead off the bottom part of the 12th, placing runners on the corners with no outs as third baseman Junior Caminero reached base on a throwing error and catcher Liam Hicks singled. Tying the game for the Rays 3-3 was center fielder Jonny DeLuca, who roped an RBI single up the middle. Left fielder Chandler Simpson kept the hit thread alive, singling during the next at-bat to load the bases with no outs in a tie ballgame.

Being called upon as a pinch hitter, Williamson took to the plate in prime position to cause game-winning damage. Just needing to put the ball into play to likely win the Rays Game Four, Williamson attacked a 96 mile-per-hour sinker, knocking a high chopper to the first base side for a walk-off single to score catcher Nick Fortes, who ran for Hicks.

“[This game] just shows the resiliency of this group of guys down three-nothing in the series,” Williamson said in a televised interview. “Just to come back and scratch and find a way to win in the last inning is huge.”
