World Series fan ejected for prying ball out of Betts’ glove

NEW YORK – A fan at Yankee Stadium was ejected from Game 4 of the World Series after prying a foul ball from the glove of Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts on Tuesday evening.

Betts jumped to the wall in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres’ pop-up in the first inning, but a front row fan wearing a gray Yankees road jersey grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands and pulled the ball out . Torres was immediately called out for fan interference.

It was the second time Torres had an at-bat affected by fan interference during this World Series. With two outs in the ninth inning of Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, Torres hit a fly ball to left field, and a fan reached over and caught the ball. Torres got a double.

The Dodgers, who are one win away from their second title in five years, had a 2-0 lead on Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer in the top of the first inning off Luis Gil when the incident occurred.
