First Inning Fireworks! 
The game started slow with both teams not managing to score in the top half. But in the bottom of the first, Justyn-Henry Malloy got things rolling with a ground rule double. Following him, Colt Keith singled to center to bring Malloy home, giving us an early lead! Our defense then kept the Yankees at bay with some great plays!Second Inning Surge! 
The bottom of the second inning was when we really turned up the heat. Spencer Torkelson kicked things off with a double to center, and Zach McKinstry, determined not to be outdone, singled to right to bring Torkelson home. Matt Vierling earned a walk, setting up Andy Ibáñez for a crucial double that allowed both McKinstry and Vierling to score. By the end, we were up 4-0!Calm and Composed Defense 
Our pitching and defense were absolutely on point. The Yankees could barely get a sniff of an opportunity. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton were neutralized throughout the game. Special shoutout to our pitching staff for keeping their composure and delivering strikeouts at crucial moments. A superb team effort all around!Key Moments in Later Innings

- McKinstry doubled again in the 7th, continuing his strong performance. Even though we didn't add to the scoreline, our guys kept the pressure on.
Closing It Out with Authority 
The 9th inning saw the Yankees with a slim chance to comeback, especially after Judge doubled to center. But Jason Foley came in to relieve, and our defense held firm. Strikes, plays, and sheer determination sealed the game for us!Final Thoughts and Celebration
