After getting swept to open the 2019 Major League Baseball season, the Atlanta Braves have won seven of eight games, including Tuesday night’s game in Colorado.

While the 7-1 victory over the Rockies went smooth, half of Atlanta’s team had something else to contend with Tuesday night: an elevator.

Fox Sports South’s Braves field reporter Kelsey Wingert reported were stuck in an elevator after the game.

Upon their rescue, many of the Braves’ team members spilling out celebrated as if it was a walk-off victory.

Atlanta’s finale of its series with the Rockies in Colorado was postponed Wednesday due to inclement weather.
