The atmosphere was electric, and any tension was definitely worth it because our team made sure to maintain their grip on the game.The Boom of the 9th 
The real fireworks took off in the 9th. The Astros were still in the game until Lawrence Butler decided to put the nail in the coffin. With Schuemann and Urías on bases, Butler stepped up and hit a 403-foot homer, bringing three runs across the plate. What an incredible moment! That took us straight to 5-1, leaving the Astros in the dust.Wrapping Up
