What Happened

The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the World Series as the Toronto Blue Jays hold a narrow one-run lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the bottom of the ninth inning. Miguel Rojas of the Dodgers steps up to the plate, with the game-tying run on base and two-outs remaining. Rojas works the count full against Blue Jays pitcher Blake Snell, and on the payoff pitch, he hammers a deep fly ball that clears the fence, knotting the score at 6-6 and sending the Dodger Stadium crowd into a frenzy. Blue Jays manager Dave Roberts is visibly stunned, unable to believe the turn of events that have unfolded. Snell, the pitcher, maintains his composure on the mound, knowing he must refocus to face the heart of the Dodgers' lineup. Up next is the dangerous Vlad Guerrero Jr., who represents the potential game-winning run for Toronto. Snell battles Guerrero, eventually getting him to fly out to center field, setting the stage for extra innings. In the top of the 10th, the Blue Jays load the bases with one out, putting themselves in prime position to regain the lead. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts makes a strategic move, replacing center fielder Edmond with the stronger-armed Pice to improve the team's defensive positioning. On the very next pitch, Dodgers reliever Yamin Yamamoto induces a ground ball to third baseman Miguel Rojas, who fires home to catcher Will Smith, who applies the tag to nail the Blue Jays' runner and preserve the tie. The tense back-and-forth continues, with both teams threatening but unable to break through. In the bottom of the 10th, the Dodgers have runners on the corners with one out. Rojas steps up again, hitting a sharp ground ball to the right side. The throw home appears to beat the runner, Ike, but the umpire calls him safe, sparking wild celebrations from the Dodgers and their fans. However, the play is reviewed, and upon further inspection, Ike's foot is shown to have lifted off the plate before the tag was applied. The out call is upheld, and the Blue Jays emerge victorious, capturing their first World Series championship in franchise history.
