The New York Yankees offense has finally woken up and they came after Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty early Wednesday night during Game 5 of the World Series.

Aaron Judge, who the entire Yankees fanbase had desperately wanted to see start making solid contact, opened his World Series home run account with a two-run jack in the bottom of the first inning. He took a fastball to right field and parked it in the stands to give New York a 2–0 lead.

The crowd exploded with excitement as the captain finally came through after some lengthy postseason struggles. Judge knew as soon as he left the bat that the baseball was destined for the seats, and he saluted the crowd after touching the plate.

After that the excitement only increased.

In the next at bat, Jazz Chisholm followed suit with a solo shot of his own. Chisholm’s home run was also his first ever in a World Series game and gave the team a 3–0 lead.

The Yankees duo became the fourth tandem ever to hit back-to-back home runs in the organization’s World Series history. Judge and Chisholm joined some iconic names in franchise history, including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (1928, 1932), Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle (1964) and Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson (1977). It was the fifth time New York hit back-to-back home runs in a World Series game, and the first time in 47 years.
