Houston Astros Verses the Atlanta Braves!

Layla — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:15:00 GMT

Astros 8, Braves 7

At the Stadium of the: Osceola County Stadium Complex in Kissimmee, FL

What an exciting game I watched on March 19, 2008! Shawn Chacon's performance was incredible and I believe earned him a spot in the Astros rotation. That night Chacon only allowed three hits and one run with four strikeouts in five innings of Houston's 8-7 win over Atlanta.

Try to catch a game if at all possible! You will find the night games extra exciting as they have a fireworks show afterwards that will only add to the excitement of a Live Baseball Game!

Call Ventura Resort Rentals, Inc toll free (1-800-247-8417) for vacation accommodations within minutes of the Stadium! This community offers 3 and 4 bedroom fully furnished townhomes that will make this an Extra Ordinary Event!
