"It would just show a lot of the girls that you can chase your dreams. Even if it takes a lot of work, it will pay off," said senior Sarah Popeney.

The all-girls private high school has been on Crawford Street before Minute Maid Park was Minute Maid Park, and it was still just a train station.

"I've been watching my whole life, and they went to the World Series the year I was born. They went to the World Series a few years ago, and I am really hoping they make it this year," said junior Sarah St. John.

For most Houstonians, cheering on the Astros is a family affair.

"I am sporting my mom's Astros shirt," said senior Elizabeth.

In addition, one of the famous Rally Nuns will be throwing out the first pitch. Plus, everyone attending the game will get a rally towel to help cheer on the team.
