World Series: Game 2

     They are calling this an instant classic.  "They"(self indulging media talking heads,etc) join fans across the spectrum who recognize all the aspects of a great game.  It started slowly, a solo home run.  Nothing happened for awhile; pitchers settled into their routine.   And then, things started to get interesting.  A wild pitch, a hit, and a game tying run.
     At this point, it's starting to resemble last night's contest-close until a tie-breaking hit.  Now the Astros are behind-3-1.  Then, another homer: 3-2 Dodgers.  More pitching changes.  NOw enter the dramatics of the late innings.  LA fans are getting anxious.  The closer gives up a game tying run.  Then another homer: back-to-back: 5-3, Astros.  Then, another homer, 5-4, Astros.  Then a game tying run, after the 'Stros were 1 strike away from a win.  Two more Dodger hits, game tied.  Extra innings.  No score in 10th.  Pitching changes: LA closer taken out after 6 outs.  New pitchers gives up some hits, more runs: Astros 7, LA 5.  More pitching changes.  Dodgers get 1 run back.  7-6, 'Stros.  More Dodgers reach base.  Astros finally prevail after 11 innings, 7-6.  They now travel to Houston for Games 3-4-and 5.
Enjoy.

Warriors prevailed a short time later over Toronto, scoring 10 points in the last 90 seconds, thanks to great defense and lights out shooting by Kevin Durant and Steph Curry.
