Dodgers star Mookie Betts found himself at the center of an unusual and aggressive fan encounter during the World Series Game 4 against the New York Yankees. In the first inning, Betts had to deal with two fans interfering with his play, attempting to pry the ball out of his glove and preventing him from making a catch. The fans were ejected from the game after the incident.
Despite the fan interference, the Dodgers fell short to the Yankees with a score of 11-4. Betts remained unharmed and focused on the game, not harboring any ill will towards the fans after the match. Dodgers reliever Ben Casparius, who had a history of attending games at Yankee Stadium in his youth as a Red Sox fan, was not surprised by the incident given the history of animosity between the two teams.
After a strong start from Betts and Freddie Freeman, the Yankees took the lead with impressive performances from their players, including a grand slam hit by Anthony Volpe. Although the Dodgers attempted a comeback, the Yankees secured a convincing win with a five-run rally in the eighth inning.
Despite the loss, the Dodgers remain optimistic and focused on securing the win in the next game to claim victory in the series. While acknowledging the Yankees’ resilience, Betts emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and not underestimating the opponent despite holding a lead in the series.
