Freeman Walk-Off Wins 18-Inning Game 3

Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off solo home run off Brendon Little in the bottom of the 18th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3, putting Los Angeles ahead 2-1 in the World Series. The 6-hour, 39-minute contest tied the Fall Classic record for innings (18) and was the second-longest World Series game by time. Shohei Ohtani produced a historic performance, reaching base nine times, hitting two homers and recording four extra-base hits — the first player since 1906 to have four extra-base hits in a World Series game — while drawing multiple intentional walks. The teams combined to leave 37 runners on base, use 19 pitchers, throw 609 total pitches and produce 153 plate appearances, setting or tying several postseason records. Fans and social media hailed Freeman’s clutch heroics, and the Dodgers moved within reach of a title at home for the first time since 1963.
