Top of the First: An Electrifying Start
Our boys came out swinging early! Gunnar Henderson might have flied out to left, but Cedric Mullins brought the fire with a solo homer to right, giving us an early lead at 1-0!
Anthony Santander and Ryan O'Hearn couldn't capitalize further, both getting out. But hey, we drew first blood!Dominant Pitching in the Bottom of the First
Our pitchers were on point from the start. Jarren Duran whiffed, Rafael Devers walked, but no worries – Wilyer Abreu and Tyler O'Neill both went down swinging or flying out. End of one, and it's still 1-0 in our favor!Mullins Shines Again in the Third
The third inning was all about Cedric Mullins again. With Gunnar Henderson walking, Mullins blasted another homer, a 407-footer to right! That put us up 3-0, and the excitement was palpable. Santander and O'Hearn couldn't keep the momentum, but we were sitting pretty.Holding the Lead Through the Fourth
Masataka Yoshida and Connor Wong tried to turn the tide for Boston in the fourth, but our pitchers stayed steely. Even with Wong doubling and Triston Casas scoring to make it 3-1, we held on tight with grit and determination.
Top of the Seventh: Insurance Runs
This inning was clutch! Henderson singled, Mullins moved him to second, and after Santander was intentionally walked, the bases were primed. Then Adley Rutschman delivered, singling to left and bringing home Henderson and Santander. Now we’re up 5-1, feeling good!Boston's Late Push in the Eighth
The Red Sox made us sweat a bit in the eighth. Yoshida's double and a balk brought them two runs closer, narrowing it to 5-3. Thankfully, our guys stayed cool. Felix Bautista and the bullpen showed resilience, striking out Wong to end the inning.Closing It Out in Style
In the ninth, it was all up to our closer, Domínguez. With cool precision, he struck out Casas and González, and even though Rafaela singled to left, Duran lined out to right, sealing the victory for the O's.Final Thoughts
