Betts, who was attempting to catch a foul ball hit by Gleyber Torres in the first inning, had the ball pried from his glove by an overzealous fan sitting in the front row.
The fan grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands, successfully pulling the ball out and disrupting the play. Despite the interference, Torres was called out due to fan interference. The fan responsible for the incident, along with another spectator sitting beside him, were promptly ejected from the stadium by security.
This marked the second instance of Torres being involved in a fan interference situation during this World Series. The Yankees, who eventually won the game 11-4 to force a Game 5, capitalized on the momentum to stay alive in the series, but the Dodgers still lead 3-1. The event has left many wondering how fan behavior might influence future games.
Though Betts remained professional during the incident, the situation adds to the growing tension as both teams continue their fight for the championship.
