WATCH: Michael Harris II makes a great play in center to win it for the Braves

Michael Harris II makes one of the best plays to end a playoff baseball game of all time.

The Braves were able to come all the way back to take the lead over the Phillies in the eighth inning thanks to a two-run shot from third baseman Austin Riley. 

This meant the Braves were three outs away from tying this series, but all Braves fans knew these would be stressful three outs. 

With a man on first and one out, Nick Castellanos hit a deep liner that looked like the best-case scenario for the Braves was a game-tying double. 

Money Mike was able to track this ball down and make an incredible play, robbing Castellanos out of extra bases. 

He then threw the ball back into the infield, and the infield was able to double off Bryce Harper at first. 

This unprobeable double play ended the game, giving the Braves a 5-4 win while at the same time tying this series at a game apiece.  

Let's take a look at this play that will have Harris II on Sports Center in the morning.
