It took just 15 pitches in the bottom of the first inning for the St. Louis Cardinals to completely unravel in Game 4 of the NLCS.

After scoring seven runs in the first frame, the Washington Nationals failed to score in the next seven innings. But it did not matter. The sweep was imminent.

The Nationals were headed to their first World Series.

For the first time in 86 years, Washington D.C will host the fall classic. America's capital will be home to the biggest game of America's pastime.

After losing baseball entirely for three decades, the nation's capital not only has a team but one of the best in the land.

When Victor Robles camped under the fly ball from Tommy Edman and the wait was over. The celebration could then begin.

The Nationals exploded out of the dugout when they recorded the 27th out.

2012 Game 5, Nats 6-0 collapse vs St Louis was the worst baseball moment ever. 7 years later, Nats sweep them to go to their first World Series. Revenge. It’s a dish best served cold. pic.twitter.com/weGAOkhxYE
