Jason Anderson, a former New York Yankee and current head coach of Eastern's baseball team, was cheering for the Dodgers in the World Series.
Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run in the 18th inning, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in game three.
Anderson was ecstatic because the winning pitcher was Will Klein, a former EIU pitcher and current Los Angeles right-hander.
Will Klein entered the game facing a tough task as the last available pitcher in the bullpen.
