The combination of crucial strikeouts and smart fielding, including a smooth double play turned by our infield in the seventh, helped maintain our edge.Insurance Runs Cap Off the Victory
As we hit the eighth inning, the Royals showed no signs of letting up. Bobby Witt Jr. got things started with a walk and advanced to second on a passed ball, allowing Maikel Garcia to make his mark again by tripling to right and bringing Witt Jr. home!
Not stopping there, John Rave executed a perfect sacrifice bunt, giving us a crucial insurance run as Garcia scored, putting us ahead 6-3.
