On the play in question, Hernández was thrown at out the plate after Frelick gathered the ball and rifled it to the cutoff man, Joey Ortiz. Hernández should have left third base the moment the ball hit Frelick's glove, but he remained on the base for far too long, enabling the defense to throw him out at home.

Sal Frelick stood in center field, his eyes wide, arms out and hat still on the ground, looking as momentarily confused as everyone inside American Family Field or those watching Game 1 of the National League Championship Series from home.

If you needed a moment or three to process the madness that was the remarkable Brewers double play in Monday's NLCS game against the Dodgers, you weren't alone.

The ball hitting the fence made the play live, which caused chaos on the base paths. Frelick fired a throw in to shortstop Joey Ortiz who relayed the ball home for a force out as the L.A. runners retreated back to their original bases because they weren't sure whether it was a catch or not.
