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

The source told Rogers that Major League Baseball instructed the Yankees to bar season-ticket holder Austin Capobianco and John Peter from Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night. The source did not know if the ban would apply to any Yankee Stadium games next season.

The Yankees have not answered ESPN's requests for comment.

Capobianco and Peter were ejected for trying to pry the ball out of Betts' glove after the Dodgers right fielder's leaping catch in the first inning.

Betts leaped at the wall in along the right field line in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres' pop up. Capobianco, seated in the first row and wearing a gray Yankees road jersey, grabbed Betts' glove with both hands and pulled the ball out while Peter grabbed Betts' non-glove hand at the wrist.

Betts reacted angrily, and Torres was immediately called out on fan interference.

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

Capobianco and Peter were escorted out of the ballpark. They told Rogers after the game that they were told they would be allowed back in for Game 5.
