Awakened around 1 a.m. Saturday by the sound of rockets exploding into bursts of color in the sky?
You can blame — or thank — a marathon baseball game and the San Francisco Giants’ commitment to Fireworks Night.
The Giants needed more than five-and-a-half hours Friday to earn a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park.
The team had promised fans a post-game fireworks show. And even though it was well into early Saturday by the time Brandon Belt made it home for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 18th inning, the team stuck with the plan.
