You could tell: Freddie Freeman immediately knew he just secured the victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. He just knew.

With the bases loaded — Chris Taylor was on third, Tommy Edman on second and Mookie Betts was intentionally walked — and the New York Yankees holding onto to a 3-2 lead in the 10th. Two outs, and the Yankees were taking their chance with Freeman at bat.

New York had Nestor Cortes on the mound, and when he delivered his first pitch to Freeman, the Dodgers' first baseman knocked it out of the park with a 423-foot walk-off grand slam to lead Los Angeles to a 6-3 win.
