Introduction

We are back, and man has stuff happened! We have the ALCS and the NLCS to go through. We will also find out who’s in, and who wins the World Series. So let’s get to it!

ALCS

Last time we left off the Guardians and the Yankees made it to the ALCS. But this time, it was an out of seven matchup. These games were heated. The Yankees did a nice job and won game one 5-2, and the next game, the Yankees had another good performance and won 6-3. The Yankees were looking to take game 3, but a close game put the Guardians back in the game, as they swung and scored 7 runs to put themselves on the board. However, the NYY still have the lead in the series. The NYY were looking like they were going to win game 4 and they did! With a close score of 8-6 the Yankees kept swinging to take game 4. This means if they won the game 5 they would move to the World Series. And in the ninth of the ALCS the Yankees and Guardians were tied 2-2 with 2 on Juan Soto was up he swung and hit a ball deep to center field for a home run! In the end, the NYY won and moved to the world series.

NLCS

Last time we left off, the NYM and the LA Dodgers made it to the NLCS. The Mets were hoping to go to the World Series for the 6th time. And the Dodgers were looking to face the Yankees in a World Series classic clash. The Dodgers won the first game 9-0. However, in the second game, the New York Mets came back and tied the series with a score of 7-3. This series was a banger with the LA Dodgers winning the second game 8-0 (another good win for LA they lead 2-1 in the series). In the third game, the Dodgers were looking to take a 2 game lead, and that they did. They won 10-2 and they now led the series 3-1. The NYM were not going to quit there, though. They won the fifth game with a big 12-6 win putting them one game behind. The Dodgers didn’t give up there.  They finished the NYM off by winning 10-5 in game six, and they headed to the World Series.

World Series

The NYY and the LAD were in the World Series for the 13th time. In the past, the NYY won 8 out of 12 times but the LAD were looking to win for their 5th win against the Yankees. The Dodgers started it off with the first walk-off grand slam in MLB history ( by Freddie Freeman who ended the series with 4 homers, 12 RBI’s, batting .300). The next game the Dodgers won 4-2 which padded their lead to 2-0. The Dodgers won AGAIN with a victory of 4-2 in game 3. However, the Yankees came back with a good win of 11-4. The Dodgers were winning 3-1 in the series at that point. In game 6, the Yankees were looking to make it a one game lead when they were leading 5-0 in the 5th. However, a few errors in the infield made the game TIED. Although a homer gave the Yankees the lead 6-5 in the 7th, the Dodgers scored 2 in the next couple innings and they took the lead at 8-6 heading into the ninth. There were 2 outs and 2 strikes. Alex Verdugo was up to bat and on a curveball low, he swung and missed. And that’s it, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 World Series, their 8th overall.  Of course Freddie Freeman was the MVP. And that’s it, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
