June 16, 2021. Canyon Lake, Texas. Baseball.

Last evening is the best example of why I love baseball. After the hockey game was over and the swimming trials had finished I switched to the Astros baseball game. I started watching just as the 7th inning had ended so at the beginning of the 8th inning the score was 2-1 in favor of the Texas Rangers. The Astros looked done for the night. Nothing was happening in the 8th. Both teams going out in order. And nothing happening with the Texans in the 9th. The Astros had two outs in the bottom of the 9th. Correa came up to bat where he quickly had two strikes. But them he hit a home run so the game was tied 2-2 and we went to the 10th inning. Then things got interesting. The Texans scored one run so were now again up one run. But in the bottom of the 10th, the Astros first batter hit a double. The next two batters were walked so now the bases were loaded. Altube came up to bat and after hitting one foul ball he hit a home run. The fans and the players went crazy. He had hit a loaded bases walk off home run and the Astros won the game 6-3. I switched to the game just at the right time. And that is why I love baseball. You never know what will happen.
