Did you think Shohei Ohtani was done creating records? Or that he was maybe a lesser year? Nope, because the man doesn’t just play baseball, he plays to rewrite it. His second home run in Game 3 of the World Series didn’t just tie the score against the Toronto Blue Jays–it added yet another chapter to the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar’s growing laurels.

Ohtani’s seventh-inning blast off, Seranthony Dominguez was his fourth hit of the night. With that, he tied Corey Seager’s franchise record of eight postseason homers. The overall MLB mark still stays with Randy Arozarena’s 10 from the same year, but Ohtani is closing in pretty quickly.
Now, MLB announced another record “the Sho” has made. “Shohei Ohtani reached base NINE times tonight, setting the #Postseason record and tying the all-time record!” Yes, nine times!

After his second homer, the Blue Jays didn’t want to take any chances. He was then intentionally walked in the ninth, 11th, 13th, and 15th innings. And he again drew an unintentional walk in the 17th, becoming the first player in the history of the sport to reach base nine times in a game.
No player in postseason history has ever drawn four intentional walks in a single game before. No one has ever walked five times in a World Series game, either. But that’s not all.

In total, Shohei Ohtani finished the night with two home runs, two doubles, and five walks, giving him 12 total bases. This is another Dodgers franchise record for a World Series game. Ohtani’s four extra-base hits tied a record that has been in place since 1906, when Frank Isbell did it for the White Sox.
Plus, this is also the third time Ohtani has belted at least two home runs in a game this postseason. This is the rarest of rare and has never been done in MLB playoff history. This game’s heroics follow Ohtani’s MVP performance in the NLCS, when he crushed those three homers and threw six scoreless innings against the Brewers.
The Dodgers’ superstar has surely entered mythical territory with his postseason antics. Now, LA has taken the WS lead, but Ohtani wasn’t the only hero of the night.

Freeman did it again as the Los Angeles Dodgers walked off in an 18-inning game!
Freddie Freeman did it again, and this time he might have topped himself.
In an 18th-inning epic that felt more like two games than one, Freeman managed to launch a walk-off homer to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-5 lead over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the World Series. That shot—a 406-foot blast to the center—ended nearly seven hours of baseball madness at the Dodgers stadium!
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts agreed that this was one of the most epic games ever.
“That could go down as one of the greatest games of all time.” It was a six-hour 39-minute classic that tied the record for the longest postseason game simply by innings.
Freeman’s heroics came off Brendon Little in a full-count battle. After the game, Freeman mentioned, “I was just trying to get on base against a tough lefty sinkerballer. I got it to 3-2 and put a good swing on it.” This is honestly becoming like a habit for him.
Freeman had ended Game 1 of last year’s World Series with a grand slam. It was the first in series history.
After this game, he joked, “This one took a little longer. But this game was incredible. Our bullpen was absolutely incredible.” But this is not just the deja vu that happened.
The only other 18-inning WS game also happened in Dodger Stadium, back in 2018. And guess who ended that one? Freeman’s teammate, Max Muncy.
Last night, it was surely an endless, exhausting, and unforgettable game—but in the end, the Dodgers walked away with a 2-1 lead.
