Our top players like Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak had a hard time getting the engine running in the first inning, but the third inning saw Ryan McMahon showing his skills with a single. However, what truly set the game on fire was McMahon's incredible 414-foot homer in the fourth, which brought home Michael Toglia and gave us a 2-1 lead. Talk about turning the tide!Holding the Lead Amidst the Storm 
The Reds managed to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh inning, thanks to a grounder by Friedl that sent Benson home. But our Rockies weren’t letting this slip—Hunter Goodman's strategic walk got us on base, and by the eighth inning, a wild pitch from Santillan allowed Goodman to score, sealing the deal with a 3-2 lead.Nail-Biting Conclusion 
The ninth inning had us all on the edge of our seats. Bryce Mejia handed the mound over to Vodnik, bringing nerves as Espinal doubled to left. But Vodnik kept his cool, striking out Friedl and McLain and walking De La Cruz intentionally before sending Hays packing with a swinging strikeout. What a fantastic way to end the game!Our bullpen deserves some kudos for keeping the Reds at bay, and big shoutouts to McMahon and Goodman for their clutch plays.
