Finally! Washington Nationals fans have something to brag about! They defeated the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the World Series to claim their first World Series win in franchise history. They fell behind in the first six innings but once the seventh inning arrived they started pouring on runs. In the top of the seventh, Howie Kendrick hit a 2-run homer to give the Nats a 3-2 lead. In the top of the ninth, one of the Astros’ outfielders committed an error, allowing two more runs to score on Adam Eaton’s single. This gave them a 6-2 lead. This was a World Series to remember.

Stephen Curry broke his left hand in a game against the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 30. Curry drove to his left, jumped with the ball and fell down with his arms out to brace his fall after being smashed between two Suns players. He looked pained while grabbing at his fingers after getting up. He did not shoot his two free throws, but went straight to the locker room to take a closer look at his hand. It was later reported that Curry broke it. He is expected to miss three months following his hand surgery. This means that the star guard will be missing about 45 games. 

As Nationals fans celebrate and Warrior fans mourn, there will always be something happening in sports. We’ll have to stay tuned to find out what will happen next.
