Braves' rookies will prove to be the difference. Last hight's loss was an aberration.

Astros outlast Braves, head to NLCS
Burke homers in 18th inning of longest postseason game.

HOUSTON -- Chris Burke's solo homer off Joey Devine in the 18th inning led the Houston Astros to a 7-6 win over the Atlanta Braves, sending the home team to their second straight National League Championship Series before a frenzied crowd of 43,413 on Sunday afternoon (and early evening) at Minute Maid Park.
The game lasted 18 innings -- the longest in Major League postseason history. It became an endurance test for the hitters, who were at the obvious disadvantage as they grew weary while the relievers entered the game relatively fresh.

Following Brad Ausmus' game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth, the teams would play the entire length of a regulation game -- nine more innings -- without scoring a run.

Burke's homer arrived after Roger Clemens pitched three scoreless innings, leading The Rocket to his first win of the 2005 postseason.

Burke was hitting third after pinch-running for Lance Berkman in the 10th.

The Astros rallied from a 6-1 deficit, plating four runs in the eighth and one in the ninth.
