The New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers went into the bottom of the seventh inning of Game 3 of the NL wild-card series tied at zero. That's when Jake Bauers led off the bottom half of the inning with a pinch-hit home run. Sal Frelick followed with a home run on the very next pitch to give the Brewers a 2–0 lead, but many fans were left wondering how Bauers homered when the launch angle of his home run was negative-17 degrees?
And why did it only travel six feet?
