Our pitching staff kept the Yankees in check for most of the game, holding them scoreless from the 2nd to the 8th inning with superb performances.

By the time we reached extra innings, the tension was palpable. It all came down to the bottom of the 11th when Jack Suwinski became an instant hero by stealing third base! The atmosphere was electric, and it was Tommy Pham who delivered the final blow, hitting a beautiful single to left field that allowed Suwinski to waltz home for the win.
The Pirates' display of determination and skill in clutch moments shows why we believe in them. Let's go, Buccos!
