Rockies Come Out on Top in 12-Inning Thriller! 
What a game, Rockies fans! After a nail-biting 12 innings, our Colorado Rockies emerged victorious over the Boston Red Sox with a final score of 9-8. This was a rollercoaster match filled with ups and downs that had us on the edge of our seats! Let's break it down inning by inning.
Early Innings: Solid Start for Both Teams 
The first two innings started slow for both sides, with neither team managing to put a run on the board. Jarren Duran and Rob Refsnyder were both grounded out, and Connor Wong struck out swinging for Boston. Our own Charlie Blackmon and Ezequiel Tovar also couldn't get any momentum going—until Brenton Doyle singled to left, giving us hope.
Third Inning: Rockies Make Some Noise! 
We took off in the third inning! Aaron Schunk started us off with an infield single, followed by a massive 403-foot homer from Charlie Blackmon which brought Schunk home. But we weren't done; Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle both got hits, bringing the score to 4-0 by the end of the inning.
Middle Innings: Red Sox Strike Back 
The fifth inning saw the Red Sox rally back to tie the game at 4-4. Tyler O'Neill, Masataka Yoshida, and Romy Gonzalez came up big for Boston, with a crucial 426-foot homer from Jamie Westbrook that brought them right back into the game. It was nail-biting to see our lead slip away!
Seventh Inning: Taking the Lead Again 
Jacob Stallings was the hero in the seventh, hitting a crucial double to right field which allowed Brendan Rodgers to score, putting us up 5-4 once again. It felt like the momentum was shifting back in our favor.
Late Drama: Extra Innings Battle 
The eighth inning saw the Red Sox tie it up again, and then we went into extra innings. Boston took a 7-5 lead in the 10th, but Sam Hilliard came in clutch with a 450-foot homer, tying the game at 7-7! The 12th inning saw Boston score again, but we were not done yet.
Final Inning: The Walk-Off Victory! 
Jake Cave scored on a fielding error by Tyler O'Neill, tying the game at 8-8. Ezequiel Tovar then delivered the final blow, singling to center and bringing Cave home for the winning run. The Rockies win it 9-8, and Coors Field erupts in celebration!
What an incredible win for our Rockies! Let's keep this momentum rolling, Rockies Nation!
