Austin Riley drives home Ozzie Albies in the bottom of the ninth to give the Braves a win over the Dodgers.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves won Game 1 of the National League Championship Series with a bottom-of-the-ninth clutch hit on Saturday!

"[Riley's improvement] is really noticeable," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

"I don't know that we won many games that Freddie's [struggled]," Braves manager Brian Snitker said.

"He's the big boss," Albies said, while describing his aim in successfully stealing second base to put himself in scoring position for Riley.

"Yeah, once I got on, I [said] I'm going [to steal] so I can be in scoring position for Riley.

However, if not for Riley, the mood in Cobb County could have been very different, because it was a game the Braves very much needed to win.

If Atlanta had not pulled out the victory and entered Game 2 down in the series -- with home-field advantage flipped to Los Angeles and the Dodgers sending future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer to the mound on Sunday -- some mild panic might have set in at Truist Park.

"You see what he's doing, the at-bats in the [division series], here," Snitker said
