An Intense Battle at Dodger Stadium
Oh boy, what a roller-coaster of emotions in this wild showdown at Dodger Stadium! Although the Rockies fell short with an 8-7 loss to the Dodgers, our bats came alive and gave us fans plenty to cheer about.
️A Strong Start
We kicked off the game strong with Nick Martini starting the first with a single to center! With a crucial double, Kyle Farmer brought Martini home, putting us on the board first. Rockies 1, Dodgers 0! However, the Dodgers responded quickly with their sluggers, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, blasting back-to-back homers that put us behind, 7-1, by the end of the first inning. Yikes!
Rally Time - The Rockies Way
An exciting third inning had us all on our feet, with Michael Toglia hitting a bomb to center, driving home three runs, followed by Mickey Moniak's solo shot to left. Those fireworks brought us right back into the game, reducing the gap to one run at 7-6. And let's not forget Farmer’s RBI groundout in the 7th that nearly completed our comeback, making it 8-7 Dodgers!
A Close Finish
Our bullpen, led by Chivilli, Peralta, Vodnik, Alexander, and Kinley, stepped up, holding the Dodgers scoreless in a tense final few innings. But unfortunately, we couldn't muster that final push. Our Rockies showed grit and determination, which will definitely carry over to our next game! We came so close, and it's performances like these that make being a Rockies fan an adrenaline-fueled adventure. Let’s keep up the momentum and get 'em next time! Go Rockies!
