Corey Seager on Dodgers advancing to World Series: ‘This team never quit’
Corey Seager says Dodgers are ready for the next challenge in World Series.
The Dodgers advanced to the World Series after a 4-3 victory over the Braves in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series at Globe Life Field. Corey Seager played a major role with a go-ahead home run to win the final game, and a historic performance at the plate.
Powering Los Angeles with five home runs and 11 RBIs in the series, Seager was awarded the NLCS MVP. The milestone by the two-time all-star marked the most home runs and RBIs in NLCS history.
“That was pretty cool,” said Seager on winning the NLCS MVP. “Obviously, It wasn’t just me though. That was a complete team effort right there. One through twenty eight went out there and just absolutely grinded through that series. That was even a fun game seven right there. That was a test every single night, and we were up for it. And we’re up for the next step too.”
Even after a 3-1 deficit in the series against Atlanta, Seager says the team came out ready to leave everything on the field. Overcoming the obstacle only served as fuel for the Dodgers, who will take on the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday.
“We never gave up, this team never quit,” said Seager. “We came out every night expecting to win. We got down 3-1 and still expected to win. So that’s a ‘tip your cap’ to that clubhouse, and how we responded. How we always came back, we always kept energy. We always found the big play, found the big spark.”
