2021 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves Playoff Highlights

I think Jack halfway expected Red Council to come out and bring in the lefty and they didn't swing and a fly ball to left field going back as Christian Yelich still going back at the wall that is gone. That ball continued to carry and carry and Jack puts the Braves on the board here in the eighth inning. It's a two one ball game. Like I said this guy rises to the occasion. He loves a postseason. One pitch to Soler hit hard down on the left field line a base hit. This rattles the wall takes a Brewer kick out to Yelich. He fires a second. Here's Soler he slides in safe with a double Soler in scoring position with one down for the Atlanta Braves Woodruff trying to go in and misses out over the plate and in scoring position Freeman lines one to right field for a base hit for a Soler being waved around. Here comes a throw from Garcia has got a great arm but it'll be late and the Braves strike first as Soler comes in on the Freddy Freeman base hit to right one nothing Atlanta Harvey Garcia able to get to that baseball quickly it was hit hard by Freddy Freeman and obvious throw one hopper but it checked a bit on the grass. All these fouled out to Willie Adamas shortstop and he won hit to right. Very well back Garcia still back warning track looks up it is off the top of the fence and stays in play. Garcia fires in Wong's got it. There's going to be a play at the plate Wong throws home. He can't handle it. It's two nothing Atlanta. He hit right off the top of the fence that bullet by Ozzie Albies Garcia got it in quickly to Colton Wong but Wong for whatever reason held the baseball for just a beat one out in the sixth inning for Austin Riley. Speaking of right center gap this is headed out towards right center field deep far and that ball is gone. Kept on going Austin Riley Adamas the shortstop pretty near the bag at second one two comes and it's hit in the air to right field. Peterson a monster postseason player. Jack Peterson comes through again. It's a three run homer. It is three to nothing Atlanta liner caught a third by Riley goes up into the air to make the grab a third for out number one of the ninth inning. Time to leave perfectly. Escobar went around and strikes out two down in the ninth inning and the old one swing and a pop up right center shallow angling in Deval called up by Heredia. They almost collided Deval makes the catch and the Braves have taken a two games to one advantage and that brings up obviously you'll Garcia off the plate chop towards third Austin Riley comes in bare handed makes the throw and it's in time. Rosario is going to pinch hit here. Forty nine in his career with the bases loaded. Broken bat single in the center field from third comes Riley. He will score this game is time broke his back but throw it in the center field to tie the ball game up. Peterson 0 4 2 on the ground left side who Rios will cut it off flips to second for one it's late at first to run scores in the back door comes all bees and it's a one run game it's now four to three and the ending continues for Travis Garneau Peterson in this game is tied at four Freeman first pitch fly ball deep center going back Kane at the wall that is first pitch and he sends a shockwave to the ballpark and they're going crazy here in Atlanta and Rosario leads it off of the Braves and he slings one in the right field base hit Rosario aggressive turn he'll stop there with Betts recovering and it's a lead off single and now the Freddie chance raining down early. Runner goes swing and a miss thrown a second and the tag safe. The Naval is a pitcher you can run on and Rosario got a great jump. It is a strikeout. Freeman is gone but Rosario into second base Rosario goes to third to God. Boston Riley coming up that's going to get away from Smith. And in the score Rosario Braves strike first Austin Riley the Milwaukee Brewers featured lots of sliders against Riley in that first series they lived away. And Riley reps one left field line. It is a. Riley drove one right on the thing just went off the grid. Here he comes at a swing and a base hit in the right Taylor turns heads to third. Now he stops now he's in a rundown Florida Ford Riley will chase him Taylor on his way back and now at Swanson and the inning is over and base running takes him out of the ninth inning. Down to Austin Riley takes off from the second. What a jump a four stepper no chance for Will Smith and now the Braves have the winning run at second base pitch slug down to left field and this is down for a big National League Championship series. Peterson coming up to Scherzer attacks Jack Peterson this time around last time quite a few change ups ended up hanging one Jack Peterson just missed a home run pitch from Scherzer swinging a deep drive to right field hit with tremendous force tie game Peterson. He just sent another pearl into the Chophouse and it's two apiece here in the bottom of the fourth. Now it's all bees. Here's the one. And that's a base hit in the right field. Rosario got a late start. They're going to wave him home the throw to the plate. Safe. Oh my goodness. Oh the riskiest sense you can have. Washington wound him home and Rosario is just in their RBI for all bees and it's a one run game. You know you get Austin Riley coming up one run game eighth setting for three game Arias deals Riley in the air center field. That ball's got some heat on it and in the other center fielder Betts always around third throw to the Austin Riley the king of Atlanta delivers again walk off last night game time double here in the offering to Rosario line drive that is through it gets through. Here comes Dansby lightning strikes twice and the Braves walk it off. This is unbelievable. And the Braves went in and they go up to nothing in the series. Listen to this place and Riley in the air center field deep glasses on for Lux. He's at the wall and he missed it. He missed it Freeman now on his way to third Riley in the second base. You could see the sun was eating him up and the Braves get a big break. It's now second and third with one out. Well Sun may have been a factor but one of the problems you have with Gluck and with Gux Lux in center field is the fact that he hasn't been there a whole lot to provide with the sun. So now Jack could tie in with a base hit Freeman at third Riley at second and the first big break in the ballgame for the Braves. You missed it. You missed that pitch. Roberts knows it too. To two he connects and drives one into right field for a base hit. Freeman will score they'll give Riley a stop sign and the Braves are on the board and an RBI single from Jack Peterson. It's two one in favor of the Dodgers or the Braves have him cornered now with one down trailing by one run. Jack Peterson making the most of an opportunity after what should have been a strike three call. Got one back there. Now Duvall broken back. That's going to fall a base hit. This game is all tied up as Adam Peterson and Duvall an RBI single to two game Duvall's first RBI of the postseason and it ties the game in the fourth four hits in the inning three consecutive they are loaded up here Dansby Swanson with one away Buehler deals it and that is off the ball of Seager one one run in for Shaw Peterson pitch on the way ball for four to Atlanta and Buehler is screaming at Jerry Meals score this game near the top of the second Eddie Smacks one to deep left. This will send back Taylor with urgency. He's back to the wall. That's out of the ballpark. Eddie Rosario drops the hammer on that pitch and it's one nothing Braves took him the other way. That ball was drill. Here comes Adam Duvall and the three two on the way that is destroyed high in the air deep to the wall. And you've got yourself double trouble on back to back home runs in the top of the second. Adam Duvall with a high arcing bomb over the center field wall. What a swing for him to on Lux and the pitch on the way from Smiley lifted the air to deep center field. This will send back Adam Duvall. He's at the wall. Now he leaves and Adam I believe he made the catch. He did it leading off to a one to Freeman and a high fly ball in the right field. Got some carry to it. That's his back at the wall. And this one is gone. The Atlanta Braves with the long ball Freddy Freeman this time three to nothing Braves on the third solo home run of the night. And now to Eddie Rosario and Eddie got everything going for the Braves an inning ago when he led off the second inning with a home run and that ball's down the line on the right bench to hops off the fence Rosario around second on his way to third the throw comes in and it is a triple for Rosario flying around the bases runners at the corners two down for Jack Peterson Peterson with twelve homers his last five years in the postseason had a key to run the homer in game two up in a big spot one and two in the air center field off the end of the bat coming in fast Lux can I get there a base hit Rosario will score four to nothing Atlanta as Peterson drives in a run right off the end of the bat it died in center field and a two out hit for Jack Peterson first pitch on the way served down to right field that is down for a base hit around second heading for third Ozzie obvious he'll cruise in and Eddie's got the single out of the way this guy's unbelievable for nothing Braves runners at the corners one down and here's Duvall to one pitch on the way it's one of the year to center field behind it Gavin Lux he has got it as he will test his arm tags from third comes home and now in between first and third they would have had Rosario hung up the ball is cut off by Bellinger but no one was there to cover first base and he just cruises right on back to the bag a run scores on the sack fly and it's five nothing Atlanta Freddy Johnson deals Freeman down the right field line hooks one that is going to be a fair ball and it bounces out and this will produce a run the automatic double by Freddy Freeman and the Braves with an insurance run here in the ninth it is six to Atlanta so now Eddie Rosario will climb into the left hand batter's box one one pitch Rosario hits one well to deep right field back at the wall that one is gone Rosario not the living daylights out of it over the right field wall and it's a nine to Braves lead in a ninth center field that ball is hit well ready and going back on it and he makes the play to end the game the Atlanta Braves are one win away and in the air right center that ball is tattooed and Freddy Freeman a two run blast and he slaps one in the left field a base hit a hitting machine right now Eddie Rosario all these deep in the right center way back there off the wall in the second base with a belly flop Ozzie all these it's a two out double and the Braves have to hit first three batters up against Walker Buehler and a runner at second base two outs here is Austin Reilly and a swing and a drive down the left field line. This is going to be down one hops out automatic double scores all these and the Braves strike first in the first inning. Oh and he swings he breaks his bat that is down the right field line it is. Don't go on as fast as he can but he's held up the catcher was running and Ron Washington puts up the stop sign second and third for Atlanta with two away in the inning. So Messi is starting to get loose in the Dodger pen Rosario three for six with runners in scoring position this postseason. And for the Braves one to pitch on the way driven to right field out there towards the corner that is a fair ball home run a three run homer by Eddie Rosario. He just electrified this crowd and the Braves have a four one lead. Now Tyler Masek enters this game runners at second and third nobody out of the seventh anything medium deep to the outfield will be plenty to score Bellinger who runs well Pollock very fast as well at second base here's a one two and a swing at a miss. That was a big strikeout for Masek one away one out one and two. Masek burns off the edge struck him out pitch on the way got him a swing and strike three unbelievable got him full count one. Here he comes a swing and a miss he struck him out to go to the inning and no strikes pitch all the way. There's a shot to dance me he slides to it he's got it throws over there is a new champion of the National League and it is the Atlanta Braves. They have won the twenty twenty one National League pennant and the Atlanta Braves are going to the World Series. It is game one of the twenty twenty one World Series between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros. He is the D.H. here's one slam to the left field. How about that start to the World Series. So Laird will take the trip and he puts Atlanta up one zip with a first swing at the fall classic. Here is Reilly with a ball in the left center field it's going to make it to nothing cut off by McCormick. But it's an RBI double and the Braves have come up flying here in game one and gets the out terrific play by Ozzie Alvarez in shallow right three sixty spin and delivered a good throw rounds one to short Correa will throw to third to run scores and they have Peterson hung up tagged out to nothing now three nothing Atlanta patiently waiting Valdez just trying to fight to stay in the game. This one is a rocket into left and gone five nothing Atlanta first and third Freddy Freeman up for Atlanta and a little pop up into shallow right Tucker with Swanson tagging. Here's the play at the plate. Safe as Swanson gets around the tag. Now it's Uli's turn. He's one for three with a single Mr. Gurriel swing at a deep drive to left field Eddie Rosario down in second base played the carom off the wall spun around and fired a great catch at second and tag by Ozzie one out two they go Brown ball out to Ozzie boots it picks it up throws to first base and deep in the heart of Texas the Braves have taken game one and now the eight hitter Travis Darnell with nobody on for Atlanta in a one nothing game and sends that one deep to left field and forget about it. Travis Darnell showing off the muscles and goes deep to even up the game at one to over the third goes Darnell and this inning is up to Freddy Freeman one one pitch that is barreled to the left side of the base hit driving dark signs from Hank Aaron and his legend lives on throughout not just the city of Atlanta but specifically in this ballpark all over tourist park Austin Riley struck out back in the first inning. Time down. We're going to score first tonight. Rosario come on down. It's one nothing Atlanta Brantley popped up left side Danza and Austin both there. Austin says he's got it makes the catch on the foul line and had a base hit since Duvall single the fifth inning well struck by Darnell to deep central Eddie Rosario who's won for two of the single and Rosario pulls one to the corner to and stopping there one out double Rosario and for the first time tonight the Braves have a man in scoring position a one out double by Rosario Austin Riley to the plate swung on and hit a left field that'll drop in for a base hit. Here comes Eddie Rosario the throw from Alvarez is going to be cut off short of the plate throw to second base. Austin is in there to one ball game in the bottom of the seven in the air to deep towards the wall. This ball is gone. It's tied up but a solo homer by Dan Smith Swanson. He went the other way with power and said one soaring into the top half the Marietta Georgia native delivers on an 0 2 pitch that is power from the eighth spot in the lineup. Well that's how you get out of trouble. You get yourself in trouble a couple of wild swings. He's still hunting a fastball and he gets one center cut and he drives it to right field. The power has kind of been gone from Dan Smith for the last week to 10 days. But this is what he did during the regular season. Tied at two in the bottom of the seven. Trouble back to back. Dan Smith and Jorge had a three to lead in the bottom of the seventh for the Atlanta Braves that just didn't clear the wall into the Astros bullpen. And this place is pulsing with energy. Who's down to me and he hits one in the air to left back. That is Eddie Rosario's world. Man what a catch. Then he went right back to the wall. Leaf right there at the wall made the catch and then went into the padding. He's got to be careful with him. Round ball rolled up the line at first. He's got it takes it to the bag Braves win. The Atlanta Braves have just taken game for the World Series first pitch to Adam. Swung on a fly ball to deep right. That's carrying back there to the wall. Great wind up in the three two on the way. Get well to deep right center field way back. This one is flying and that is a monster mash out of Freddie Freeman. A strikeout for out number one. Perfectly done when he he didn't throw enough of these pitches against this great team inside. He was missing too far and then he didn't paint. But when he can paint inside and start that on the same lane. To the right side the runners end up at second and third to out. Oh to pitch. Like three. What a job by Max Fried. Here's one over the head of Fried. One play by Swanson with a bare hand for the out line drive base hit into right center field gets it between Correa and Altuve. And Atlanta has their first base runner. Soler with a monster blast into left in the Braves lead. Two balls two strikes Christian Javier brings it. Swanson touches one off nothing Atlanta here in the fifth one one pitch flies into left center field well hit back at the wall it is gone on for Freddie Freeman. How about that. And what might be his last at bat for the Atlanta Braves left side Swanson to first.
