Pinch hitter Ben Williamson delivered a walk-off single in the 12th inning as the Tampa Bay Rays staved off elimination with a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night in Game 4 of the World Series at Tropicana Field.

The Brewers, who squandered a 12th-inning lead three outs from their first championship, still lead the best-of-seven series 3-1. Game 5 is set for Wednesday night in St. Petersburg.

After rookie Cooper Pratt capped his four-hit performance with a homer leading off the top of the 12th, giving Milwaukee a 3-2 lead, Tampa Bay saved its season in the bottom of the inning. Junior Caminero reached on a throwing error by third baseman Joey Ortiz to open the inning and chase Antonio Senzatela. Shane Drohan (0-1) relieved and allowed a single to Liam Hicks that put runners on the corners, and Jonny DeLuca’s single up the middle plated pinch runner Cedric Mullins to tie the game 3-3. Chandler Simpson’s single loaded the bases before Williamson bounced a single into right field, scoring pinch runner Nick Fortes to end the game. Drohan permitted one run on four hits without retiring a batter.

Pratt, who also had an RBI double in the fourth inning, deposited a 2-2 sweeper from Ian Seymour (2-0) over the wall in left-center field in the top of the 12th. Seymour allowed one run on two hits in one inning of relief.

Milwaukee’s Jackson Chourio recorded two hits, boosting his total to 10 hits in the first four games of a World Series. The only other player to accomplish that feat was Babe Ruth in 1928.

Simpson ripped an RBI double in the second inning to open the scoring and made a leaping catch at the wall in the ninth for the Rays. Pratt’s fourth-inning double scored Sal Frelick to tie the game 1-1, Tampa Bay retook the lead in the bottom of the fourth when a throwing error by David Hamilton allowed Caminero to score, and Hamilton atoned in the fifth by homering off Griffin Jax to tie the game 2-2, where it stayed until the 12th.
