[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Padres lost to the Brewers 2:3 in G1 of the National League Division Series today. However, the Padres had a chance to turn the game around with a 2-run cannon in the 9th inning, but it was eventually "confiscated" by the Brewers' home field, American Family Field.

With one out and first base in the ninth inning of the Padres, "Ty France" hit a deep fly ball to left field from Brewers' fireball stopper Trevor Megill. It looked like it had a chance to lead to a two-run reversal. However, the ball hit the ceiling of the stadium and fell into the glove of left fielder Jackson Chourio.

The referee immediately ruled that the game was out, and the Padres ultimately lost by 1 point. According to major league rules, if a hit ball hits the roof in the inbounds area and then falls, it will still be considered a live ball in play (In Play); and according to the field rules of American Home Park, if a hit ball hits the roof, trusses, steel ropes or any cables located above the inbounds area, the ball is still a live ball. If it is caught by a fielder, the batter is out and the runner advances at his own risk.

The Padres made a challenge at the moment, but the only challenge was whether the ball would have originally flown out of bounds, because according to the rules of the field, if the ball hit the roof, trusses, steel ropes or any cables above the "out of bounds area", it would be deemed a dead ball (Dead Ball), and the referee team ultimately upheld the original decision.

France's deep fly ball has an initial velocity of 105.3 miles and an elevation angle of 49 degrees, but the estimated flight distance is only 325 feet. According to "Baseball Savant" data, this fly ball will only result in a home run at the Astros' home court.

Megill, the Brewers' closer who made a thrilling save, said in an interview with the broadcaster after the game: "My reaction at first was 'it's over', but then the referee came over and told me that no matter what happens, the ball will be a live ball in the game. I have played in this stadium for 4 years and have never seen anything like this. I can only say that I am very happy that the final result was in our favor."
