[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Padres slugger Ty France hit a "phantom 2-point bomb" in the 9th inning and was confiscated for hitting the roof of American Family Field, the home of the Brewers. In this regard, Brewers coach Pat Murphy said that there is a blessing in the world.

Padres first baseman France hit a deep fly ball to left field from Brewers' fireball stopper Trevor Megill with one out in the top of the 9th inning. It looked like he had a chance to turn the ball around for two runs, but the ball hit the iron frame on the roof of the stadium and fell into the glove of left fielder Jackson Chourio.

According to the Brewers' home rules, if the ball hits the roof, roof trusses or roof cables in the foul area, the ball is still a live ball in the game; if the ball is caught by a fielder, the batter is out; if the hit ball hits the roof, roof trusses or roof cables in the foul area, it is determined to be a dead ball. The ball was eventually ruled out, and the Brewers narrowly defeated the Padres 3:2.

Regarding this rare play, Padres head coach Craig Stammen said that they joked about this incident at the umpires meeting today and discussed what would happen if the ball hit the roof. The probability of this happening was very low, but they did not expect it to happen. The team was unlucky. The ball had a chance to become a home run, but the final result was not on their side.

Brewers coach Murphy believes that this is the blessing of the late Brewers legendary anchor Bob Uecker. "He decided to reach out and slap the ball down so that Jolio could catch it, so thank you, Ueck."
