Freddie Freeman not only became the primary to hit two walk-off World Series homers, he spared the Dodgers from deploying Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who was warming within the bullpen for a possible nineteenth inning of their 18-inning 6-5 Game 3 win.
He also became the primary walk-off homer hitter to be upstaged by a teammate.
Shohei Ohtani was the primary in any game to succeed in base nine times since 1942, when the Cubs’ Stan Hack did it. Nobody had ever reached base even seven times in any postseason game.
Naturally nobody ever was intentionally walked 4 times in a single game (and semi-intentionally a fifth). And three of those times were with no one on base.
