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.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
