When push came to shove in the 9th, Kris Bubic stepped in and closed things out calmly, ensuring no further Braves' runs. A key strikeout of pinch-hitter Travis d'Arnaud and a quick fielder’s choice play helped retain our 4-2 lead.Outstanding plays by Tommy Pham, Bobby Witt Jr., and everyone contributing both offensively and defensively made this a match to remember.
We came, we saw, we conquered! Let's keep riding this momentum. Go Royals!
