Jake Bauers hit a two-run homer off Blake Snell in the seventh inning on Wednesday to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, putting the team on the cusp of reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982.

Bauers fouled off five two-strike pitches before turning on a 97 mph fastball and launching it 412 feet to right field. The at-bat came on the 11th pitch. Manager Pat Murphy called it an 'incredible at-bat'. Teammate Garrett Mitchell followed with a home run of his own to chase Snell and make it 4-2, describing Bauers' performance as 'super sick' and calling it 'a selfless at-bat'.

Two seasons earlier, Bauers had nearly quit baseball. The Brewers now lead the best-of-seven National League Championship Series 3-0, with Game 4 scheduled in Los Angeles on Thursday.
