"Max Muncy's base hit then put runners at the corners with two outs. After Kiké Hernández kept the inning alive with a walk, Andy Pages broke his bat on a tapper back to the mound. But what should have been a routine play for Orion Kerkering was anything but that. He booted it, then hurried an ill-advised throw to home plate that sailed wide of J.T. Realmuto, ending the Philadelphia Phillies' season."
""We're going with the 12 because the off days in between the games. We have to carry three catchers because of where Will's at. Obviously with Tommy's uncertainty, Max coming back recently, having the extra infielder Hyeseong is huge," Roberts said the day of Game 1. "And as far as how I'm going to use him, to run off the bench, to potentially take an at-bat off the bench, but there's a lot of lefties in that lineup. But Hyeseong, it's good to have him on the roster. And I feel he's going to help us out at some point.""
"Initially lost in the jubilation as players came spilling out of the dugout was Kim actually failed to touch home plate when he crossed."
Hyeseong Kim entered Game 4 of the NLDS as a pinch-runner in the 11th inning and represented the winning run at first with one out. Max Muncy's base hit created a corners situation, and after a Hernández walk and Andy Pages' broken-bat tapper, Orion Kerkering misplayed the ball and rushed a throw that sailed past J.T. Realmuto. The errant throw allowed Kim to score from first, instantly ending the Philadelphia Phillies' season. Kim's final step was just short of the plate as he moved to avoid a collision with Realmuto. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had rostered Kim for bench speed and infield depth.
