DODGERS CLINCH WORLD SERIES COMEBACK
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their first World Series title since 2020, overcoming a dramatic 5-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees 7-6 in Game Five.
The Dodgers trailed until the eighth inning, where Mookie Betts’ sacrifice fly clinched the victory, marking the biggest comeback win in a World Series clincher.
New York started strong with Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hitting early home runs. But the Dodgers’ steady response began with Freddie Freeman’s clutch single, leveling the game. Gavin Lux and Betts delivered in the final innings, while Yankees ace Gerrit Cole’s effort fell short as the Dodgers seized control.
Shohei Ohtani, despite a shoulder injury, played a key role in elevating the series’ global viewership, particularly in Japan. Freddie Freeman, named MVP, led a resilient Dodgers team that battled through injuries and postseason obstacles. “We hit every speed bump possible,” Freeman said, “but we kept fighting as a team.”
The Dodgers’ long-awaited title is a testament to their relentless spirit and commitment to winning every game, no matter the odds.
