The game started off as a classic pitcher’s duel. Both teams struggled to get on base, and the first four innings were a mix of strikeouts and routine outs. Kudos to our pitching staff for keeping the Reds quiet early on. In the top of the 2nd, Carson Kelly drew a walk, but we couldn’t capitalize—Justyn-Henry Malloy and Gio Urshela couldn’t drive him in.

Our guys held their ground after that, with Garrett Hill coming in and striking out the next two batters to stop the momentum. The Unforgettable 8th Inning 
Everything changed in the top of the 8th inning. It started with Parker Meadows doubling to right, giving us some hope. Then, Wenceel Perez, who came in as a pinch hitter, smashed a two-run homer! 
That leveled the game at 2-2, but we weren’t done yet. Matt Vierling walked, followed by back-to-back hits from Andy Ibáñez and Mark Canha. Canha’s double drove in two more runs, giving us a 4-2 lead. When Zach McKinstry grounded out, Ibáñez scored to make it 5-2. What an inning!
