A sudden and dramatic game-ending double play by the Los Angeles Dodgers set up Game 7 in the World Series with the possibility of more excitement.

Will Smith homered in the 11th inning after Miguel Rojas connected for a tying drive in the ninth, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in Game 7 Saturday night to become the first team in a quarter century to win consecutive World Series titles.

The Los Angeles Dodgers did far more than become baseball’s first back-to-back World Series champion in a quarter-century. The Dodgers’ galaxy of superstars cemented their place as one of baseball’s great dynasties.
