In 2006, former Brewers<\/a> infielder Bill Hall had a rather rosy Mother’s Day<\/a> when he used a pink bat to swat a walk-off home run to defeat the New York Mets<\/a> in extra innings, 6-5, with his mom in the stands.<\/p>\n

Twenty years later, Brice Turang stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning and with a bat dipped in a similar shade of bubble-gum lacquer and smacked David Bednar<\/a>‘s first pitch hanging curveball over the wall for a walk-off winner at American Family Field.<\/p>\n

Pink is not usually considered the most intimidating of hues, but the Brewers now have a 37-22 record on Mother’s Day. Turang’s blast gave Brewers fans another most memorable one and a three game sweep over the New York Yankees<\/a> for the first time since 1989 after Sunday’s 4-3 victory<\/p>\n

Turang’s spring brightness wouldn’t have been possible withouout a three-run fourth inning highlighted by Blake Perkins’ two run single<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But most of the flowers belonged to Turang as his clutch swing brought out the brooms and turned back the calendar to Hall’s heroics.<\/p>\n

Here’s some social media reaction to Turang’s fantastic finish:<\/p>\n
