The New York Yankees’ offense finally woke up and they went after Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty in Game 5 of the World Series early Wednesday night.

Aaron Judge, who the entire Yankees fanbase has been eagerly awaiting to start making solid contact, opened his World Series home run account with a two-run jack in the bottom of the first inning. He hit a fastball to right field and parked it in the stands, giving New York a 2-0 lead.

The crowd exploded with excitement as the captain finally achieved success after long end-of-season struggles. Judge knew the baseball would go into the seats the moment he released the bat, and after touching the plate, he saluted the crowd.

The excitement increased even more after that.

The very next at-bat of the inning, Jazz Chisholm did the same with a solo shot of her own. Chisholm’s home run was also his first in a World Series game, giving the team a 3-0 lead.

The Yankees duo became the fourth back-to-back home run tandem in the organization’s World Series history. Judge and Chisholm join some iconic names in franchise lore, including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (1928, 1932), Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle (1964), and Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson (1977). This marked the fifth time New York had scored consecutive home runs in a World Series game and the first time in 47 years.
