Sources – Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts were banned from World Series Game 5

New York Yankees fans who were ejected from Game 4 of the World Series after disrupting Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts have been banned from attending Game 5, a league source told ESPN's Jesse Rogers with.

The source told Rogers that Major League Baseball directed the Yankees to deny season ticket holders Austin Capobianco and John Peter entry to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night. The source did not know whether the ban would apply to games at Yankee Stadium next season.

The Yankees did not respond to ESPN's requests for comment.

Capobianco and Peter were ejected for taking the ball out of Betts' glove after the Dodgers right fielder made a diving catch in the first inning.

Betts jumped into the wall in foul territory along the right field line and initially caught Gleyber Torres' popup. Capobianco, sitting in the front row and wearing a gray Yankees away jersey, grabbed Betts' glove with both hands and pulled the ball out while Peter grabbed Betts' ungloved hand by the wrist.

Betts reacted angrily and Torres was immediately taken to task for fan interference.

“When it comes to the person in the game, it doesn't matter,” Betts said after the Yankees extended the series with an 11-4 victory. “We lost. That is irrelevant. I'm doing well. He's fine. Everything is cool. We lost the game and that’s kind of what I’m focused on.”

Capobianco and Peter were escorted out of the ballpark. They told Rogers after the game that they had been told they would be cleared for Game 5.
