Corbin Carroll had an impressive performance, going 3 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs scored. The Arizona Diamondbacks shocked the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-2 win in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series, earning their first World Series appearance in 22 years.
The Arizona team will be facing off against the Texas Rangers in the World Series, with the first game scheduled for Friday evening at Globe Life Field.
In their lone appearance in the World Series, the Diamondbacks emerged victorious over the New York Yankees in a thrilling seven-game match in 2001.
The Diamondbacks, a young team, managed to secure a spot in the playoffs as the final wild card team in the National League with a record of 84-78. Despite being down 0-2 in the NLCS, they were able to come back and win Games 6 and 7 against Philadelphia by taking early leads.
Brandon Pfaadt recorded seven strikeouts in four innings and a total of five relief pitchers worked together to successfully navigate through difficult situations in the later innings for the unexpected National League champions.
The Phillies, including Bryce Harper, must contemplate this offseason how they missed out on a second consecutive appearance in the World Series. Despite being one win away from a pennant, Philadelphia was unable to seal the deal.
