The New York Yankees offense finally woke up and went after Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty on Wednesday night during Game 5 of the World Series.

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

The crowd erupted with excitement after the captain finally passed after some protracted post-season struggles. Judge knew the moment it left the bat that the baseball was destined for the seats and saluted the crowd after it touched the plate.

The excitement only grew after that.

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

The Yankees duo became the fourth tandem to hit back-to-back home runs in the organization’s World Series history. Judge and Chisholm joined iconic names in franchise lore, 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 had hit back-to-back home runs in a World Series game and the first time in 47 years.
