On Tuesday night, the Nationals became the first team in the major leagues to clinch a division title. The Nats have been here before, winning their second National League East title in three years, but the story this year was written a little differently. The Nationals clinched in front of their home crowd in 2012. Of course, there is no place like home, but if the Nats could choose to clinch anywhere else, I'm sure Atlanta would be at the top of that list. So the stage was set. In enemy territory, Drew Storen got Justin Upton to ground out to second base, and with one huge fist pump from Adam LaRoche, the party was officially under way. MASN had complete coverage of the celebration, with Dan Kolko right in the middle of it ... literally. Take a look back with headlines, GIFs, videos and more from Tuesday's memorable night. Headlines * Box score: Roark's seven scoreless innings leads Nats to 3-0 win * Reaction during NL East postgame celebration * A well-earned division title * A day later, a few things that stand out in my mind GIFs

What a night. Couldn't ask for a better group of guys to battle with everyday. Only the beginning of what we want to do.
