The Milwaukee Brewers came into Friday’s game with everything on the line. Sitting on the brink of elimination, Milwaukee once again found a way to keep its magical season alive and force a Game 7 in the NLCS.
Things started off poorly when David Freese drilled a lead-off home run to give the Los Angeles Dodgers an early 1-0 lead. Starting pitcher Wade Miley, who also started in Game 5, worked around the solo shot and kept it to a one-run deficit.
After a quiet stretch at the plate in recent games, Milwaukee’s hitters came alive in Game 6. It started immediately with a four-run inning in the bottom of the first to jump ahead of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles would never sniff the lead again as the Brewers continued to add on in a one-sided game on Friday night.
Once Milwaukee recorded the final out to finish up its big win and force a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday, Twitter erupted as the Brewers’ magical season continues.
And we will see you tomorrow night. Winner reports to Boston for the World Series. Loser waits for pitchers and catchers to report,

Jesus Aguilar's RBI single in the eighth makes it 7-2 Brewers, solidifying both the existence of Game 7 tomorrow and the Jesus pun in my lede.

1. There will be a Game 7.
2. The Brewers have a very real chance to win the NL pennant.
