Caratini’s 10th-inning blast makes Brewers walk-off winners over Cubs 5-2

Victor Caratini stepped up to the plate in the 10th inning with a golden sombrero, but he delivered the decisive blow a few pitches later to send the Brewers home as walk-off winners over the Cubs 5-2.

Caratini struck out in each of his first four at-bats of the afternoon, and two of those punchouts came with the tying run on base for the Brewers in the fifth and ninth innings.

It only took one swing to turn him into a hero. With two outs, Caratini launched a 2-1 sinker from Cubs reliever Scott Effross for a 411-foot home run and sent the home fans to the exits happy.
