Early Challenges and inning Highlights
The Astros came out swinging early with Jose Altuve launching a 374-foot homer in the first inning, giving Houston an early lead. Not to worry, as Jakob Marsee came through in the bottom of the second with a crucial single that allowed Heriberto Hernández to score, putting us on the board with 1-2. Marsee kept his hot hand in the fifth inning by adding another point for us with a solo homer to right-center!
Resilient Effort Until the End
Although the Astros widened their lead significantly in the fourth and fifth innings with a notable three-run homer from Yainer Diaz, the Marlins didn't give up! Eric Wagaman fired back with an impressive solo homer in the seventh inning. The heart and effort were there all night, even if the scoreboard didn't reflect the results we wanted. Keep your heads up, Marlins!
Looking Forward
Overall, it was a valiant effort from our Marlins. Despite the tough loss, there were performances worth cheering for, and the team showed resilience throughout the game. We'll be ready to regroup, learn, and fight again in our next matchup. Onward and upward!
