Astros won! Astros Won!
With no positional player left in the dugout. Roger Clemens came out to pitch 3 innings relief. In the 18th inning, he swung with all his might hoping for a homerun... he struck out.
Then the unlikely hero #2 Chris Burke came in. A ROOKIE with a hitting average of only 0.248 and 5 homerun for the season... dug in and waiting for the pitch.
Well, the rest was history. He put the baseball out of the ballpark and the golden homerun sealed the game and the Houston Astros won the game 7-6, as well as a ticket back to the NLCS to meet with St. Louis Cardinals coming Wednesday.
What a game!!
I was jumping in my living room, it was amazing!
"He might have thrown 10, 20 innings... and I'm honest with you when I say that. I think he was prepared to do whatever it took. And that's the way the man is. I've never seen anybody like him. He's amazing."
-Astros' general manager Phil Garner on Roger Clemens.

Nice game, but they are still going to get killed in the World Series by
