PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- They're off to Arizona! Phillies players and their families boarded buses at Citizen's Bank Park on Wednesday morning and made their way to the airport.



The Action Cam captured players like Bryson Stott grabbing his stuff to board the plane.



Philadelphia leads the series 2-0 and can advance to the World Series with two more wins.



Game 3 begins at 5:07 p.m. at Chase Field, and fans couldn't be more excited.

"We've been going to games for years, had season tickets since '76, been to every home game so far. Never seen them clinch a pennant on the road, so let's do it," said Leo Leonetti, of Plymouth Meeting.



The Leonettis quickly booked their trip on Tuesday and have tickets for all three games in Arizona.



Prices for Thursday's game are as low as $11 on SeatGeek.



But the Leonettis splurged, spending $400.



"We wanted to be down by the excitement at the dugout, right behind the Phillies dugout," said Leonetti.

Before the players left, some fans were out at the Philadelphia International Airport to cheer on the guys, just hours after a huge win at home Tuesday night.



One fan said he and his nephew actually ran into Bryce Harper in South Philadelphia before the team headed out.



"He gave us a fist bump and we gave him a fist bump back," said Art Ricciardi. "'Bring it home, boys,' We told them. Very exciting time for the city right now."


"I'd like to see them win back home, but you'd hate to want them to lose a game," said Jay Rice, of Bordentown.
