NEW YORK, U.S.A. – With their backs against the wall, the New York Yankees came out swinging and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had his biggest moment of the postseason.

Chisholm delivered one of the biggest hits of his career Tuesday night, a go-ahead solo home run to lift the Yankees to a 9-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in game three of the American League Division series at Yankee Stadium.

Facing elimination and a three game sweep, the Yankees trailed by 6-1 early before the home team started a rally.

Tied at six in the fifth inning, with one out, Chisholm turned on a 99-mile-per-hour fastball from Louis Varland, launching it 409 feet into right-center field.

The Yankees never relinquished the lead.

It was a redemption moment for the Bahamian star, who had struggled early in the series, entering the game hitting just .176 in the postseason.

He finished the night 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.

Game four is back in the bronx tonight.

The Yankees turning to rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler. The Blue Jays are expected to counter with a bullpen game as they try to close out the series.

From one superstar having his moments now – to the one who’s gonna have many more in the future – Sebastian Walcott carries his momentum from AA to the Arizona Fall League.

Walcott made his debut last night with the surprise Saguaros in their 6-3 win over the Mesa Solar Sox.

The Texas Rangers’ top prospect went 2-4, including a single in the fifth inning and double in the sixth.

The AFL is an offseason showcase where each club assigns seven of their top prospects.

At 19, Walcott is the second youngest player in the league.

He entered the fall league after spending the season in double-A Frisco where he hit .255 with 13 home runs, 59 rbis, and 32 stolen bases.

There were a lot of pundits that expected Donnie Freeman to be a one and done – but after an injury shortened freshman season, he returned to Syracuse for year two.

At ACC Media Day, Donnie Freeman took center stage as one of Syracuse’s most promising returning players.

The sophomore forward spoke openly about his recovery, maturity, and his decision to return.

Freeman arrived at syracuse with huge expectations, ranked as a consensus five-star recruit and one of the highest-rated signees in program history.

Before his injury, he played in 14 games and averaged 13.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field.

A fracture to his right foot required surgery and ended his season.

Beyond his college career, Freeman also made headlines last summer by suiting up for the Bahamian national team at the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Valencia, Spain.
