The night started brilliantly for us. Julio Rodríguez was an absolute star, hammering a monster of a home run in the bottom of the 2nd inning that brought in Rowdy Tellez, Dylan Moore, and Victor Robles. That shot put us ahead with a 5-0 lead, and my spirits were soaring! Victor Robles added to the excitement with his own solo home run in the 6th, extending the lead to 6-3. The Mariners were capitalizing on every opportunity, and it felt like we were on our way to another win at home.Ninth Inning Collapse
But as fate would have it, the ninth inning took a dramatic turn for the worst. The Royals were relentless. It was gut-wrenching to watch as Tyler Tolbert hit a two-run homer, followed by a triple from Gavin Cross that scored another. The dagger came when Stone Russell singled and brought in the final run, putting the Royals ahead. Our bullpen had been solid until then, but baseball is a game of unpredictability.Looking Ahead
Despite the loss, there were bright spots and players like Julio Rodríguez and Victor Robles gave us moments to cheer.
