Morgan Delivers Walkoff Walk Sparks Astros Past Braves
In a 5 to 4 victory over the Atlanta Braves, Houston’s Morgan delivered the decisive ninth inning hit as the Astros rallied from a late deficit. The win extended Houston’s strong start, with Morgan driving in the go ahead run after a tense sequence at the plate and base paths. The Braves staged a late rally, but Astros pitching and timely hitting preserved the win. Houston solidified its rising image as the Junior Dodgers with aggressive baserunning and clutch offense.
