Game 1, Att:41,027



A 4 run 1st left us playing catch up the whole game and once again we failed to do so. So Houston go 1 up in the series and on this form will probably be favourites to claim the series. There were 2 home runs in the game 1 for each side, Teagarden hit his 1st of the year in the 1st and Blum hit his 5th of the year in the 1st with 2 on and 2 out(One of our main problems this year).

Game 2, Att: 40,712



If you scored runs for leaving batters on base, I'm certain we'd be 43-0 this year maybe 40-3 at worst. For the 1st 7 innings of the game it followed the script we've been using all year, leaving batters on whilst the other team slowly build a lead. Enter the top of the 8th bases loaded 0 outs, now thus far this year we'd score no runs and manage to get 3 outs, but not today Andruw Jones smashed the ball out of the ground for a GRAND SLAM, his 4th home run of the year, to make sure we add 2 more runs in the innings to make it 6-3, Francisco then wraps the game up in the 9th for another save.

Game 3, Att: 40,810



So we fight back from losing the opening game to take the series 2-1. We opened the scoring then the Astros hit 4 in the third including a Pence home run with 2 on and 2 outs for his 6th of the year. We then showed some verve as we grinded our way back into the game, this time we were did that by the 7th and added a few runs in the 9th to make sure. The only downside was Harrison picked up a knock and had to leave the game early.
