The Los Angeles Dodgers stars shined brightest when their team needed them most. Facing a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning, Shohei Ohtani doubled and advanced to third base on a throwing error. Mookie Betts would even the score immediately after, hitting a sacrifice fly to center field to score Ohtani. The run would prove to be pivotal, keeping the Dodgers alive for an eventual 6-3 extra-innings victory over the New York Yankees in the World Series Game 1 tilt.
