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.
