Brett Phillips and his teammates celebrate Saturday after Phillips hit the game-winning two run single, as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the L.A. Dodgers 8-7 to tie the World Series at two games apiece.

The Tampa Bay Rays have gotten even in the World Series after a wild game-ending play for an 8-7 win in Game 4 over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Brett Phillips hit an RBI single off Kenley Janasen with two outs in the ninth, and Randy Arozarena scored the second run on the play because of Dodgers misplays.

Arozarena had hit his MLB-record ninth postseason homer earlier in the game.

He fell down running home as the Dodgers tried to get the ball in after center fielder Chris Taylor’s error.

Arozarena was able to get up and score when catcher Wil Smith couldn’t handle the relay throw.

Phillips, a Seminole, FL, native, entered Game 4 as a pinch runner in the eighth inning before coming up with the biggest swing of his career. It was his first plate appearance since Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the New York Yankees on Oct. 7.

Game 5 takes place Sunday night in Arlington, Texas.

It's a rematch between Game 1 starters, Tyler Glasnow for the Rays and Clayton Kershaw for the Dodgers. Kershaw got the 8-3 win over the Rays Tuesday night.

    Hundreds report water violations as enforcement varies across Sarasota County
    Emily Andersen/Suncoast Searchlight
    Suncoast Searchlight reviewed water-restriction complaints and enforcement records across Sarasota County during Southwest Florida’s most severe drought in nearly a decade and found municipalities are taking sharply different approaches to enforcement. While some jurisdictions actively patrol for violations and issue citations, others rely primarily on education and warnings and provide few clear ways for residents to report violations. We also examine how the drought has heightened public scrutiny over water use, with hundreds of residents filing complaints about sprinklers, lush lawns and suspected overwatering during the regional shortage.

    ‘You are playing games’: School tax fight erupts after Sarasota vote
    Derek Gilliam/Suncoast Searchlight
    Local officials thought a dispute over who would pay to collect a voter-approved school tax had been settled when Sarasota County commissioners agreed in a surprise vote this week to resume covering the millions of dollars withheld by Tax Collector Mike Moran. Turns out, the fight isn’t over. Behind the scenes, county, school and tax officials spent the next few days sparring over whether Tuesday’s commission vote actually restored the decades-old practice — or whether another formal vote would be required before the money could be released to the school district, according to emails obtained by Suncoast Searchlight.
