A Battle to the Finish: A's Triumph Over Astros! 
​
It was a rollercoaster of emotions last night at the Oakland Coliseum, but our beloved Oakland Athletics pulled off a thrilling victory over the Houston Astros with a final score of 3-1! 
From the very beginning, it seemed like a tough battle as Jose Altuve's massive 439-foot homer put Houston in the lead during the 1st inning.Steady Defense and Our First Spark 
​
After Altuve's early heroics, our defense stayed resilient. Standouts included Max Muncy, who showed excellent field presence and kept the Astros at bay with key plays, including a slick double play in the 2nd inning. Offensively, not much seemed to click until the 5th inning when JJ Bleday fired a solo homerun into right center, bringing immense joy to the crowd and leveling the game at 1-1. 
Nail-Biting 9th: Kurtz's Monster Shot! 
​
The game remained tense until the 9th inning. Brent Rooker got us started, earning a walk with the score still tied. Then, as if scripted by baseball gods, Nick Kurtz smashed a heroic 447-foot homerun to right-center, clinching the game with a score of 3-1! The crowd erupted in pure elation, as this stunning finish solidified our confidence in this team's spirit and resilience. 
A heartfelt thank you to our team for an electrifying game. Let's continue this momentum, A's fans! Go Oakland!
