A Tense Start
The game began with both teams' defenses holding strong, keeping the score 0-0 through the first couple of innings. Despite some solid hitting attempts by Ozzie Albies and a walk by Austin Riley, we couldn't quite crack the scoreboard early on. Our starters were throwing gems, making every at-bat a battle.
Guardians Take the Lead
In the 3rd inning, the Guardians managed to sneak ahead with a run thanks to an infield single by Andres Gimenez that brought Bo Naylor home. Our boys tried to respond but were met with tough resistance, leaving us trailing 1-0.

The Comeback Kid
The 8th inning was where the magic started. Ronald Acuña Jr. kickstarted our rally with a single and, thanks to an error, dashed to third. Albies then doubled him home, and Matt Olson tied the game with an infield single that brought Albies in. The stadium was electric, and you could feel the momentum shift in our favor!
Extra Innings Drama
With the score tied at 3-3 going into extras, it was anyone's game. Our pitching staff, especially A.J. Minter, held the fort, keeping the Guardians at bay.
Then, in the bottom of the 10th, the moment we were all waiting for happened. Austin Riley, our hero, delivered a clutch single to center field, driving in Acuña Jr. for the winning run. The crowd went wild!
