One day later, the Phils tied the series<\/a> with a wild 4-3 come-from-behind, extra-inning victory of their own \u2014 courtesy of a homer by infielder Alec Bohn<\/a> \u2014 to set up a pivotal Game 3 that has all the makings of an instant classic.<\/p>\n

In a September 30 post-game conversation with MLB.com<\/a>, Bohm spoke about his team’s mindset ahead of tonight’s must-win game.<\/p>\n

“Just win a game,” he told the outlet. ” \u2026 I think as much as we want to enjoy this for a little bit, it’s the same as we did [after Game 1]: Turn the page, and move on to tomorrow and show up ready to do the same thing.”<\/p>\n
