Austin Martin started us off with a single, and then Luke Keaschall stole the spotlight with a mammoth 380-foot homer, bringing home Martin and Wallner. But it didn't stop there—Victor Caratini added a solo shot to right field, extending our advantage to 5-1. Woohoo!

Our pitching and defense showed their strength from start to finish.
