On the verge of getting swept in front of their home fans, the New York Yankees forced a Game 5 against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an 11-4 win – their first World Series victory in 15 years.

After the triumph, several adrenaline-fueled fans spoke to Fox 5 New York outside the venue. 

‘The comeback is on the way, that’s right,’ one fan said. ‘Seeing a grand slam in the World Series? That’s it!’ another added.

Speaking to reporters outside the stadium, another fan urged his Yankees to take it ‘one game at a time, don’t focus on anything else!’

New York native Anthony Volpe smashed a grand slam to keep the Yankees’ title hopes alive in the biggest moment of the 23-year-old’s career.

Volpe was the hero the five boroughs needed in front of a sold-out home crowd, blasting a home run 390 feet to center field in the third inning and running home again in the eighth.

Outfielder Alex Verdugo added an RBI, and catcher Austin Wells recorded a solo home run, while second baseman Gleyber Torres got a three-run homer. Slugger Aaron Judge finally came alive after a dismal series run with an RBI.

Verdugo injected some life into the crowd as he batted in Volpe to trim the Dodgers’ lead in the second inning, as the desperate New York fans let out a deafening roar. 

With the bases loaded in the next inning, Volpe answered their prayers with a monster homer that soared over center field.

From being down 2-1, the Bronx Bombers went up 5-2 before sealing the biggest win in the classic East vs. West series by far.

Los Angeles came into Tuesday’s contest hoping to head back west with a sweep and a hero’s welcome after winning 6-3, 4-2, and 4-2 in the first three games.

The two teams will face off in the Bronx again on Wednesday night before the series returns to Los Angeles on Friday, should Game 6 be necessary.

The last team to come back from 3-0 down to win the World Serie was the 2004 Boston Red Sox against the Yankees.
