The stores originally closed at 9 p.m. but reopened after the Astros' Game 4 win against the Yankees.

"The fact that we swept it in the Yankee's own house, it's like, you can't ask for a better feeling, especially being from Houston and after all the stuff that's been talked about us. It was the icing on top of the cake," one fan shopping at Academy said.
