Astros overcome Braves in 18, clinches series (Reuters) Updated: 2005-10-10 09:59
However, Houston closed the gap to 6-5 in the eighth with a grand slam of
their own from slugger Lance Berkman.
"This is going to end up being the greatest game ever played," said Garner,
who in 1986 played for the Astros in a 16-inning NLCS-clinching 7-6 loss to the
New York Mets that inspired a book titled "The Greatest Game Ever Played".
"It's unfortunate someone had to lose this game," Garner added. "I'm sort of
glad we won."
