"I could really feel the intensity of the stadium before the game began, and I thoroughly enjoyed it," Ohtani stated after the game, emphasizing the electrifying atmosphere that motivated him and the team. He further added, "It's hard to compare, but I've played at this stadium the entire year and was able to really feel the intensity of the stadium."
Ohtani's three-run blast was pivotal in the game. His confidence was evident as he described knowing it was gone the moment he hit it, saying, "I screamed out of emotion after hitting it, knowing how crucial it was in the moment for the team."
Prior to Ohtani's arrival, the Dodgers faced historical difficulties, as Sarah Langs noted, "The Dodgers were 0-14 in the postseason when trailing by three-plus runs through the first inning, highlighting the significance of Ohtani's impact on the game."
This victory was especially significant for the Dodgers after their past disappointments in postseason play, where they recognized their previous lack of fight. They stood resilient this time, with Ohtani leading the charge towards a 7-5 win."
