The San Diego Padres entered Monday night with just one thing standing in the way of a playoff spot: A win against the Milwaukee Brewers.
In the second inning, the Brewers scored three runs to take a 3-1 lead. But, the Padres scored one run in both the fifth and seventh innings, and the game ended up going to extra innings.
In the 10th, both teams scored a run, but the 11th inning was a special one for San Diego.
Jose Iglesias moved Bryce Johnson over to third base via a sacrifice, and then it was Freddy Fermin who drove in Johnson to get the win and lock up a playoff spot.
This marks the first time the Padres have made the playoffs in consecutive years since 2005-06.
It was pure celebration in San Diego, and a video from the dugout shows the excitement of the team after a long season.
The Padres have five games left, and they trail the Chicago Cubs by 2.5 games entering Tuesday, so there is a scenario where San Diego gets the No. 4 seed in the National League.
The Cubs face the new York Mets, who themselves are fighting for the final NL Wild Card spot, and the Padres take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final three games of the year.
Still, at long last, the Padres have officially punched their ticket to the MLB postseason.
