(Jamie Squire\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After the five-hour and 17-minute game, the second longest\u00a0in World Series history, Houston leads the series 3-2.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers scored three runs in the first inning and held a 4-0 lead going into the bottom of the fourth. The home-team Astros tied it, then fell behind, 7-4, then tied it again, 7-7, then fell behind, 8-7.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros took the lead, 11-8, in the bottom of the seventh, added one more in the eighth, and needed just one out in the ninth inning when the Dodgers rallied to tie it 12-12. Bregman\u2019s game-winning single came with two outs and the winning run on second base. He also singled and walked in six plate appearances, scoring twice.<\/p>\n<p>Bregman isn\u2019t the only Jewish player making headlines in the World Series. In Game Four Saturday night, Dodger Joc Pederson\u2018s three-run shot in the ninth extended the Dodgers\u2019s lead to 6-1. That was followed in the bottom of the inning by another Bregman homer, bringing the final score to 6-2.
