Anthony Volpe hit a go-ahead grand slam, while Freddie Freeman had the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions as the Yankees avoided a sweep by showcasing their resiliency.
Despite an early lead by the Dodgers and some misplays by the Yankees, the game turned in New York’s favor with Volpe’s crucial grand slam.
