Offensively, the Senators exploded for 10 runs in the first highlighted by big hits from Matt Coyne and Mothander. Game over, right? Wrong.

In the top of the 7th, the feisty Astros narrowed the lead to 3 and loaded the bases with no outs. In came Jonathan Rheault, the Senator closer, to force a ground out at the plate and a game ending 5-2-3 double play.
