The game kicked things off a bit slow, with both teams keeping the score at an even 0-0 by the end of the 1st inning. Our Orioles struggled to find their stride early on, but hey, every great story needs a build-up, right?

Things really heated up in the 2nd inning when Jorge Mateo decided it was time to change the game. With Anthony Santander and Austin Hays on base, Mateo launched a massive homerun to center field, clocking in at 402 feet and bringing in 3 runs. Talk about stepping up!
Pitching Proves Pivotal
Our pitching staff was nothing short of outstanding. They kept the Braves at bay, allowing zero runs throughout the game. That's what I call dominance! The Braves just couldn't find an answer, with their bats silenced by our incredible pitchers. A team effort if I've ever seen one.
Securing the Win
Despite the Braves' attempts to rally, the Orioles defense and pitching held strong, keeping the score at 4-0. The bottom of the 6th inning gave us the final run, thanks to Austin Hays, who singled to left, allowing Ryan Mountcastle to score. A small mistake by the Braves' left fielder didn't hurt either.
