Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the 2025 World Series, NC State, Duke and UNC all winning and more.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2025 World Series, capturing their second consecutive championship. They defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling seven-game series that went down to the wire. Game 7, held at Dodger Stadium, was an instant classic as the Dodgers pulled out a 5-4 victory in 11 innings thanks to a dramatic go-ahead home run by Will Smith. The win made the Dodgers the first team in 25 years to repeat as World Series champions, a feat last accomplished by the late-1990s Yankees. Stars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto played key roles throughout the series, with Ohtani’s bat anchoring the offense and Yamamoto delivering clutch pitching performances that energized both the home crowd and fans across Japan. With this back-to-back championship, the Dodgers have solidified their status as the dominant force in baseball. Can the Dodgers be stopped? Did you watch the World series?
