Flowers gives us the lead in the 9th!

RBI infield single for Flowers. Thought Longo was still gonna get him.

 

[death2redemptions]

Then again, maybe not...

 

[manningmurphyfan]

That was a close one. Wouldn’t have been surprised if they overturned it.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Lucky first out. Hit off Venters, redirected to Albies and still had enough time to get him.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Magic number = 11.

 

[death2redemptions]

What a catch by Swanson!

What a catch by Swanson!

Missed it but saw Acuna’s double and then Albies 1-pitch AB.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

That sucks. Looked like the right call overturning it but would’ve been nice for Acuna to get an assist.

Ended up being a crucial call too. If it went our way we'd still be tied or they'd have one run at most.

Yeah, it definitely hurt.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

And that’s why Ender should be hitting second. He’s hits well in the 2nd half and Ozzie’s struggled.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Bloop,,,,

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Gausman’s AB was awesome too. Well earned walk.

None of this would have happened without it.

After the Braves go 0-for-6 with RISP in the first two innings Acuna comes through with 2 run single to tie it

Ronald Acuna - .294 avg 25 HR 55 RBI .951 OPS 14 SB (53 XBH 68 Runs)

Was starting to get worried when Acuna was backtracking on Rendon’a flyout.

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Will take that lucky 2-run single!!

 

[death2redemptions]

Oh, wow! Two more runs...what happened? I missed it.

He'll take some odd routes to the ball sometimes and some simple plays become nail bitters. He generally makes them though.
