The young duo of the New York Yankees makes baseball history in Game 4 of the World Series

The New York Yankees kept their season alive Tuesday night by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees are still down 3-1, but they’ve extended the season by at least one day, and that’s all they can ask for at this point.

Normally the Yankees’ lineup is bolstered by veterans like Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, but Game 4 was all about the young players. Sophomore shortstop Anthony Volpe went 2-for-3 with a grand slam, four RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases. Rookie catcher Austin Wells went 2-for-3 with a home run and also a steal.

According to Yankees statistics expert Katie Sharp, the duo of Volpe and Wells have written a unique World Series history.

Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe become the first group of teammates age 25 or younger in MLB history to each hit a HR and steal a base in the same World Series game

Volpe is hitting .273 for the playoffs, while Wells is hitting just .130. The Yankees totaled nine hits and capitalized by scoring five runs in the eighth inning, putting the game out of reach.

The two teams will face off again in Game 5, scheduled for Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. It will be the last match of the year New York as the series will shift to Los Angeles for Games 6 and 7 if necessary.

The first pitch is 8:08 PM ET.
