"Muncy's homer capped off the longest game in World Series history, both by time (7 hours, 20 minutes) and number of innings played. The marathon spanned over parts of two separate days as Game 3 began at Dodger Stadium on October 26, only to finish in the early morning hours of Oct. 27. The play was selected by the Los Angeles Sports Council's Media Panel as one of the nominations for the greatest moment of 2018."
"Several hours before Muncy sent Dodger Stadium into a frenzy, the Dodgers took an early lead on Joc Pederson's solo home run in the second inning. Their 1-0 edge remained intact until Jackie Bradley Jr. tied the game with a solo homer of his own in the eighth inning. Boston took a lead in the 13th inning behind a leadoff walk and throwing error on an infield single."
Max Muncy hit a walk-off home run in the 18th inning to end Game 3 of the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium. The homer completed the longest game in World Series history by time (7 hours, 20 minutes) and innings, with play spanning October 26 into the early morning of October 27. The Dodgers led early, Boston tied in the eighth and took a 13th-inning lead after a leadoff walk and throwing error. Yasiel Puig tied the game later; Muncy nearly homered foul in the 15th before finally clearing a fastball into left-center three innings later. The walk-off was only the Dodgers' second World Series walk-off and earned a Los Angeles Sports Council nomination.
