A fan recorded an incredible video of the Cleveland Guardians’ dramatic walk-off home run on Thursday night, capturing the thrilling moment from his apartment just a few buildings away in downtown Cleveland. The Guardians triumphed over the New York Yankees with a 7-5 victory in 10 innings during Game 3 of the ALCS, thanks to a clutch 2-run home run by David Fry.
The game was a rollercoaster of emotions for Guardians fans. Cleveland had initially held the lead, only to see it slip away in the 8th inning when Emmanuel Clase gave up back-to-back home runs, allowing the Yankees to surge ahead. But the Guardians showed their resilience.
Jhonkensy Noel delivered a crucial 2-run home run in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, setting the stage for Fry’s heroics in extra innings.
Fry’s walk-off shot sent Progressive Field into a frenzy, and one fan, Pete Marek, who resides at the Residences at Halle, captured the heart-pounding moment on video from his apartment window. Marek’s vantage point provided a unique perspective of the game-winning hit.
In the video, you can hear the unmistakable crack of Fry’s bat, followed by the roar of the crowd and the fireworks exploding in celebration.
