Freddie Freeman’s Walk-Off Home Run Ends Longest World Series Game in MLB History
The 2025 World Series Game 3 will go down as one of the most unforgettable games in Major League Baseball history. Freddie Freeman delivered a walk-off home run in the 18th inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a thrilling victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, ending the longest game in modern World Series history.
This marathon matchup lasted 6 hours and 39 minutes, showcasing elite pitching, clutch hitting, and unforgettable drama.
A Game for the Ages
From the start, the game had everything. Shohei Ohtani tied the game with a home run in the seventh inning, sending the packed Dodger Stadium into a frenzy. Both teams’ bullpens then battled through ten scoreless innings, displaying remarkable control and resilience.
The only World Series game longer than this took place seven years ago, also at Dodger Stadium, when Max Muncy hit a walk-off homer against the Boston Red Sox. Muncy nearly repeated history tonight but missed the foul pole by inches in the 14th inning.
Freeman Seals It for the Dodgers
As the clock approached midnight, fans were running out of energy—but not hope. In the 18th inning, Freeman launched a towering home run to deep center field, ending the exhausting standoff and giving the Dodgers a 2-1 Series lead.
The stadium erupted as Freeman rounded the bases, teammates rushing the field in celebration. It was a moment of pure relief and triumph.
What’s Next
With both pitching staffs drained and the next game scheduled just 19 hours later, questions loom over who will take the mound for Game 4. But for now, the Dodgers have momentum and history on their side.
The Freeman walk-off will be remembered as one of the greatest moments in World Series history—an instant classic that embodied everything fans love about October baseball.
