WATCH: Orlando Magic: The Gathering – Arcia hits the walk-off to earn the Braves a home and series opening game win

THE starting shortstop for the Braves hits the walk-off single.

Matthew Jacobs

Dream scenario. Bottom of the ninth, Eddie Rosario doubles as a pinch hitter, he hammers a  line drive to right field for extra bases. Hero of the night Orlando Arcia steps up to the plate. A man that wasn't even an afterthought before he was named the starter out of spring training, laces a single on a line drive to center field to drive in Eddie Rosario as the Braves walk it off in thrilling fashion:

The game was a hard-fought battle that Arcia ended with one swing of the bat. The Braves give the home fans a walk-off, ninth inning, series starting, home opening, and a thrill to enjoy for the ages. 

The Braves will continue to enjoy home cooking as they play game two of this four-game set with the San Diego Padres on Friday night, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:20 ET. Braves Today will be the go-to site for everything a Braves fan would want to know. Braves Today Podcast will fill you in on anything else you could possibly want to know about the Braves. The game broadcast will be exclusively on Apple TV this time around. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on WIFN 1340 AM/103.7FM or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
