Tuesday night in front of 43,975 screaming fans, the Washington Nationals won Game Four of the National League Championship Series 7-4.

With the win, the Nationals swept the St. Louis Cardinals four games to none. They have won the National League pennant for the first time in team history.

You guys, the Nats are going to the World Series!

The Nationals opened the game in the first inning with seven (!) runs. The Nationals batted around and chased Dakota Hudson after the Cardinals starter was only able to record one out.

Here’s a summary of what happened.

After Trea Turner and Adam Eaton got on base, Anthony Rendon plated Turner on a sacrifice fly to get the Nationals on the board 1-0.

Juan Soto followed that with a sharp line drive to left field, driving in Eaton. Victor Robles then hit a single, driving in June Soto. Yan Gomes came up and singled to left field, driving in Howie Kendrick and Ryan Zimmerman. Turner finished the scoring in the first by hitting a single to left field, bringing Gomes home.

One of the most electric moments of the night was when Gerardo Parra pinch hit in the seventh inning, sending the crowd into a frenzy during his walkup song. 40k people clapped their arms up and down along with the Baby Shark song. Parra responded with a single to right field.

The Nationals would give up four runs in the later innings, but held on to win. Starter Patrick Corbin had 12 strikeouts in five innings pitched.

Howie Kendrick was named NLCS MVP.

Other notable moments: The Nationals wore special pregame shirts with a special meaning.

The Washington Mystics were honored pregame. Elena Delle Donne threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Michael Buffer did his classic Let’s Get Ready To Rumble pregame.

Way to go, Nats!
