1991 NL Game: Atlanta Clinches the Pennant!

September 20, 1991

The Atlanta Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in 13 innings tonight, a victory that clinch's the NL West Pennant for Atlanta. A well pitched game for both clubs, Francisco Cabrera decided the game with a 1 out pinch-hit homerun in the top of the 13th inning for the Braves. The Dodgers didn't threaten in the bottom of the 13th as Alejandro Pena shut them down for his 5th Save of the season. Juan Berenguer, in relief, got the Win.
