The Dodgers had fought back from a 0–3 deficit when Will Smith hit a home run in the eleventh inning of the game. The 30-year-old's hit gave the team the lead for the first time in the game.
"You dream of moments like this," Smith said on Fox's broadcast.
I will remember it forever.
The decision came when the Dodgers managed to score two opponents on star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto's throw, a so-called double play.
The 27-year-old Japanese, who joined before last year's season and signed a twelve-year contract worth the equivalent of just over 3 billion kronor, was named the final series' most valuable player after the match.
"I did everything I could, everything I was supposed to do and I'm so happy that I was able to win with my teammates," the protagonist himself tells Fox.
Yamamoto made 96 throws in the sixth game, and was worn out heading into the seventh.
I didn't know if I would be able to play tonight, but I'm glad I did.
The Dodgers are the first team to defend a World Series title since the New York Yankees won three straight from 1998-2000.
