Early Excitement at Yankee Stadium
What a start for the Bronx Bombers!
️ In the bottom of the 1st inning, our bats came alive. Juan Soto homered to right, and moments later, Aaron Judge crushed one to center, putting us up 2-0. It was an electrifying start, and the stadium was buzzing! 
Guardians Battle Back
The Guardians, to their credit, didn't back down. They clawed their way back into the game. Rocchio's homer and timely hits brought them level at 3-3 by the middle of the 4th. Our boys were fighting hard, but the Guardians seemed to have an answer at every turn.
Missed Opportunities
We had chances to retake the lead, most notably in the 8th inning when Austin Wells doubled but Trent Grisham was thrown out at home. It felt like a gut punch. The game remained tied, and the tension was palpable.
Extra Innings Drama
The game went into extra innings, and despite our best efforts, we couldn't crack the Guardians. In the 12th inning, things unraveled as the Guardians exploded for six runs. It was tough to watch. Our bullpen just couldn't hold them.
A Late Push
Even in the final moments, Judge tried to spark a rally with a 2-run double, but it wasn't enough. We ultimately fell 9-5 in 12 innings. A tough loss, but the fight this team shows gives me hope. We know they have the talent. Let’s regroup and come back stronger next time!
Go Yankees!
