With yet another 'magical' win, Brewers are the talk of the town

If there were any questions about how tightly which Milwaukee is embracing this Brewers team, they were answered during the fifth inning on August 8.

And by the time Blake Perkins’ right arm unleashed the throw heard ‘round Cream City in the ninth inning, there were simply no questions left to be had.

A jubilant, over-capacity crowd of 43,469 that had American Family Field rocking all night erupted in ear-splitting pandemonium as Perkins delivered a walk-off win with his defense, turning a one-hopper single off the bat of Jeff McNeil seemingly destined to tie the game into a one-hopper bullseye to the plate to nab Starling Marte for the final out and preserve a heart-pounding 3-2 win over the New York Mets .

“It was loud tonight, huh?” said Perkins.

Sure was.
