Philadelphia Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park celebrated the team’s NLCS Game 4 win by singing “Dancing on my Own.”
The Philadelphia Phillies are one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time since 2009.
Philadelphia found themselves trailing multiple times in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres. Yet, they were able to overcome them, some of which coming off home runs. Ultimately, they reached the ninth inning and closed out the 10-6 victory.
As the team celebrated the victory, Phillies fans inside Citizens Bank Park began singing the Calum Scott and Tiesto remix of “Dancing on my Own.”

In the top of the first inning, it looked as though the Phillies were going to have a rough night, as they surrendered four runs, one of them arriving on a solo home run by Manny Machado. But in the bottom of the inning, Rhys Hoskins hit a two-run homer and an RBI double to cut their deficit to a 4-3. Philadelphia did tie things up in the fourth inning on a RBI single by Bryson Stott.
Once again, it looked as though San Diego was heading for a Game 4 win following a two-run homer by outfielder Juan Soto in the fifth. But, Hoskins responded yet again with a game-tying home run in the bottom of the inning. Harper hit an RBI double and Nick Castellanos hit an RBI single that same inning to give them a 8-6 lead.
The Phillies secured the victory and ensured the Padres would not make a comeback on solo home runs by Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.
On Sunday, the Phillies have a chance to clinch the NL pennant on their home field. If not, the NLCS will return to San Diego for the final two games.
