Tuesday night’s sports action saw a continuation of MLB League Championship Series action, while the NBA 2021-2022 regular season also kick-started.
The Los Angeles Dodgers willed themselves to a win in a crucial game 3 of the National League Championship Series. After digging themselves into an early hole, they rallied to put four runs on the board in the 8th inning to give them a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves and avoid a 3-0 series deficit. First baseman Cody Bellinger hit a 3 run homerun to tie the game, sending the full-capacity crowd at Dodger Stadium into frenzy.
