The Washington Nationals don't usually win this game facing postseason elimination.

History said when the Nats entered the bottom of the 8th inning, needing to overturn a 3-1 deficit it was all over. Facing Josh Hader, one of the most dominant left-handed relief pitchers in the leagues. 

And despite Hader looking anything but crisp, the Nationals were an out away from scorning a bases-loaded situation. Juan Soto had other ideas. 
And yadda yadda yadda, the Nationals are headed to Los Angeles and the NLDS to face the NL West champion Dodgers. (But not before there were some great celebrations, including Soto and his dad sharing a special moment.)
