The Dodgers won Game 5 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on the 31st (Korea time) with Shohei Ohtani's come-from-behind final hit.
The Dodgers, which overwhelmed the Yankees with 4 wins and 1 loss in the series, became the world champion for the first time in four years since 2020 and 36 years since 1988 based on 162 games in the season.
The MVP of the series was Freddie Freeman, who hit a home run in four consecutive games until Game 4, starting with a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning of Game 1 overtime.
It was the Dodgers' persistent chase and reversal.
The Yankees took the lead early in the game, but after the middle, the Dodgers took control and eventually turned the tide.
Keith took the lead with Judge's first two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning. Judge, who had a chance with Juan Soto's walk after one out, pushed a fastball in the middle of Fleherty's 93.7 miles of first pitch and crossed the right fence well.
The ball, which flew at a launch angle of 28 degrees and a speed of 108.9 miles (175 kilometers), was stuck in the middle of the right outfield seat and at a distance of 403 feet (123 meters). Nearly 50,000 fans who filled Yankee Stadium stood up in unison and cheered and went wild.
It is Judge's first exciting cannon in five games and 19 at-bats, who is on the stage of his first World Series.

The Yankees then added a point with Alex Verdugo's timely hit to the right in the bottom of the second inning, and Giancarlo Stanton hit a superior solo shot in the third inning to widen the gap to 5-0.
However, the Dodgers, who were pressed by Cole's pitch, tied the game 5-5 in the fifth inning with Freddie Freeman's two-run timely hit and Teoscar Hernandez's two-run double. Two critical defensive errors by the Yankees and Cole's mistake without base cover led to mass scoring.
Leading Kiké Hernández opened with a right-handed hit. Then, center fielder Judge missed Tommy Edman's ordinary outfield fly, and all the runners lived. Cole then guided Will Smith to an infield groundout, but shortstop Anthony Volpi's throw to third base to catch the second baseman became a one-bound bad pitch, and the Dodgers had a chance to load the bases with no outs.
Cole struck out Gavin Lux and Shohei Ohtani in a row and seemed to be getting out of the woods. However, when Mookie Betts grounded out to first base, Cole did not enter the base curve to first base, so third baseman Kike homered, followed by a chance to load the bases with two outs again.
And when Freddie Freeman, who is dominating this World Series, hit a heavy hit, he called in two players to narrow the gap to 3-5. Teoscar Hernandez then hit a cutter in the middle of Cole's 90.6 miles and hit a two-run double to center field the game 5-5.
Colossus, who pitched no hit and no run until the fourth inning, was shaken rapidly due to fielders' errors.

However, the Dodgers succeeded in turning the tables in the top of the eighth inning. After tying the game 6-6 with a sacrifice fly by Gavin Lux, the bases loaded with no outs, which was made with the left-handed hit by the leadoff Kiké Hernandez, Edman's infield hit, and Will Smith's walk, Ohtani got on base due to catcher's interference and regained the chance to load the bases with one out, and Betts hit a deep sacrifice fly to center field to blow Edman to turn the tide.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, when Judge opened a left double after one out, Chisom Jr. walked and created a chance for the first and second bases. However, Stanton stepped down with a fly ball to right field, and Anthony Rizzo struck out swinging, and the inning ended as it was.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Walker Buehler, the starting agent, took the mound and kept the lead by allowing no hits and no runs in one inning.
