Game 1 of the World Series was a tense affair heading into the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees were tied 2-2, with the top of the Yankee lineup pitching against hard-throwing reliever Michael Kopech.

A swing of the bat and a catch by the left field wall provided the game with an iconic moment.

The dispute? The catch was made by a fan.

Torres’ fly ball to left field sailed 383 feet, according to Statcast, when it came to rest in the outstretched glove of a fan sitting in the front row of the stands. Torres was really hoping for a home run. Dodgers players insisted it was a double and pointed to the fence in near unison.

According to major league rule 6.01, if a fan reaches into the field of play and touches a ball that could be caught by a fielder, fan interference is deemed and the batter is ruled out. A fan touching a fair ball results in a ground rule double and two bases are awarded to the batter and any baserunners.

The ball could not have been caught by Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez; that much was clear. Much less clear: would the ball have cleared the fence if the fan hadn’t caught it? After a brief review, the umpires ruled that the ball should have stayed in the park, and Torres was placed on second base.

The fan, wearing a Dodgers hat and sweater over a blue hoodie, was removed from his seat by Dodger Stadium security.

The Yankees did not score in the inning. After an intentional walk to Juan Soto, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts replaced Kopech with veteran right-hander Blake Treinen.

Treinen got Aaron Judge to fly out to end the inning, and the game went to the bottom of the ninth tied 2-2.

The Dodgers are playing the Yankees in the World Series for the first time since 1981.
