This week, Canadian actress Elisha Cutbert, the wife of former NHL defenseman Dion Phaneuf, shared a lighthearted update following one of the longest games in World Series history.

In a TikTok video that she reposted to her Instagram stories on Tuesday, Elisha shared how she was feeling the effects of the Toronto Blue Jays’ 18-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series.

“Hi. Anyone else out there with me on the struggle bus from enjoying that baseball game last night?” she said in the clip. “That was a lot of innings. Might have to switch to the old waters. Fun times, though.”

Her joking remark came after a game that will go down in MLB history. The Dodgers edged the Blue Jays 6-5 in 18 innings with Freddie Freeman delivering the decisive walk-off home run off Brendon Little in the bottom of the 18th to give Los Angeles a 2-1 series lead.

The marathon matchup stretched six hours and 39 minutes tying the record for the most innings ever played in a World Series game. The box score was just as wild where the two teams combined for 609 pitches, 37 runners left on base and 28 total hits.

Shohei Ohtani turned in one of the most memorable individual performances in postseason history reaching base nine times, smashing two home runs and two doubles and drawing four intentional walks. Toronto battled back multiple times behind clutch hits from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette but couldn’t overcome the Dodgers’ late-inning resilience.

The series, retitled for television as Every Year After, brings Fortune’s beloved lakeside romance to the screen set in the fictional town of Barry’s Bay, where love and heartbreak unfold over “six summers and one week.” Production is currently underway in British Columbia with Bowen Island and Vancouver serving as stand ins for the story’s Ontario setting.

Behind the camera, Amy B. Harris has taken over as showrunner replacing Leila Gerstein earlier this year. Known for her breakout performance as Kim Bauer on Fox’s 24 and her comedic turn on Happy Endings, Cuthbert’s latest project will see her return to high-profile television work following recent appearances in Netflix’s The Ranch and the films The Cellar and Bandit.
