1991 NLCS Game 7 🔥 Braves vs Pirates | John Smoltz SHUTOUT Sends Atlanta to World Series

On October 17, 1991, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4–0 in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series at Three Rivers Stadium to win their first National League pennant since moving to Atlanta.

This game completed one of the greatest turnaround stories in sports history.

Just one season earlier, the Braves had finished last place in the National League. In 1991, they went “worst to first” and shocked baseball by reaching the World Series behind a dominant young pitching staff featuring:
⚾ John Smoltz
⚾ Tom Glavine
⚾ Steve Avery

In this decisive Game 7:
🔥 John Smoltz threw a complete-game shutout
🔥 Brian Hunter hit a huge early two-run homer
🔥 Atlanta stunned Pittsburgh on the road

The Braves immediately attacked Pirates ace John Smiley with a three-run first inning and never looked back.

This series is remembered as:
🏆 one of the greatest NLCS battles ever
🏆 the beginning of the Braves dynasty of the 1990s
🏆 the first chapter of the legendary Braves vs Pirates postseason rivalry

Even more historically important:
The SAME two teams would meet again in the unforgettable 1992 NLCS featuring Sid Bream’s famous slide.

📅 Date: October 17, 1991
📍 Location: Three Rivers Stadium — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
⚾ Final Score: Braves 4, Pirates 0
