Alec Bohm hits clutch home run to keep Phillies' postseason hopes alive
Summary

Alec Bohm hit a solo home run in extra innings during Game 2 of the NL Wild Card, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 lead.

Bohm's performance not only kept the Phillies' season alive but also placed him among some of the most iconic postseason moments in MLB history.
