In a series where the Dodgers and Giants traded victories, the Los Angeles Dodgers came out on top in their final victory over San Francisco. It was a nail-biter of a Game 5 right down to the controversial last call.

But hey, that’s baseball!

I took over our social media during the game. Here's how I tried to memorialize the experience, via cartoons.

A cartoon asks "How many innings before Urias steps in?" We see a sad-looking #45 pitching.

Text reads "Will we crack that change-up code?" Drawing shows a Giants pitcher with his arm back for a pitch.

Text reads "Y'all ready for this?" As a cartoon of a pitcher gets ready to throw.

Text reads "Graterol pulls through." The image shows a baseball hat, hair in the back, and some facial hair... but no face.

A cartoon of fans holding up signs that read "RUN HOME BETTS"

A cartoon drawing of an umpire kicking a baseball, with the caption "Ump playing Soccer?"

Text: "Name that batting stance!" The batter stands very still and straight up and down, arm at a right angle, bat parallel with the ground pointing backward.

Text reads: "Mookie's Guide to Scoring Runs: step 1: base hit. step 2: steal second. step 3: run home while watching Corey's gorgeous hit." The number 50 in the lower left in red in a blue circle.

A cartoon showing a baseball being hit out of the stadium, with a line tracking its arc. There is water shown in the foreground. The sky is gray.

Text: "Gotta love the skipper's game stance." A man hangs over the edge of a barrier with an L.A. Dodgers hat, looking tired/exhausted.

A cartoon of a baseball glove on a hand, with a baseball inside it. Text shows "Turner's glove" pointing to the glove, and "not a base hit by Solano" pointing to the baseball.

Text: "Cool as..." with an image of an ice cube, a cucumber, and a person in an L.A. Dodgers hat with a beard and mustache, behind glasses.

Text reads Mad Max is ready. Always. It shows a drawing of a baseball player wearing a glove.

We looooove L.A. (We love it!)
