Phillies look to build on walk-off momentum vs. Braves

Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Phillies have a chance for a series win against the Atlanta Braves thanks to an unlikely hero.

Instead of facing a possible series sweep, the Phillies rallied for a 2-1 win Wednesday when Luke Williams hit his first career home run, a two-run walk-off shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

It was just the second career major league game for Williams.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity," Williams said on a postgame interview on NBC Sports Philadelphia. "You can't make this stuff up."

The Phillies will now look to capture the three-game set when they host the Braves on Thursday afternoon.
