First walk-off in World Series history

With the Dodgers trailing 3-2 and reaching their finale, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th, Freeman hit an offering from Nestor Cortes into right field at Dodger Stadium.

“These are the kinds of things when you’re five years old and you’re playing Wiffleball in the backyard with your two older brothers, these are the scenarios you dream about, two outs, bases loaded in a World Series game,” Freeman told reporters after the game.

The 2021 National League MVP Freeman was hampered by an ankle injury throughout the postseason – but also hit a triple in the Dodgers’ 6-3 win.
