A crowd of 43,122 was in attendance at Truist Park last night for Game 5 of the World Series, as the Astros beat the Braves 9-5 to extend the series. Game 6 is tomorrow night in Houston (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 11/1). Prior to Game 5, The Battery near Truist Park was "closed to everyone" but ticket holders due to high volume. Up to 100,000 were "expected to pack The Battery" last night, as the Braves looked to win their first World Series since '95 (WSBTV.com, 10/31).
