Overview
- Freddie Freeman ended Game 3 in the 18th with a walk-off home run to give the Dodgers a 6-5 win and a 2-1 series lead after 6 hours and 39 minutes.
- The marathon tied the record for the longest World Series game, and Paisley also sang before the other 18-inning affair in 2018.
- Paisley’s World Series anthems at Dodger Stadium have preceded four extra-inning games: 2017 Game 2 (11), 2018 Game 3 (18), 2024 Game 1 (10), and 2025 Game 3 (18).
- Three of those contests ended with Dodgers walk-offs, including Max Muncy in 2018 and Freeman’s grand slam in 2024.
- Media and MLB channels have leaned into the lighthearted “omen” narrative, with the Dodgers now 3-1 in extra-inning games following Paisley’s performances.
