From there, it felt like anything was possible. Our pitching and defense held the Padres scoreless through the first four innings, raising hopes of a victory.Mid-Game Battle
After keeping things tight, trouble started brewing in the fifth inning. Our opponents took advantage of fielding mistakes, and by the end of the inning, the Padres had scored twice, giving them a 2-1 lead. But hey, no need to worry yet—we've got determination in our blood! The seventh inning was where our hopes soared once more, as Jo Adell doubled to bring in a run, and Matthew Lugo delivered a two-run homer that catapulted us to a 4-2 lead!
A Crushing Finale
With the Angels ahead and our fingers crossed, it appeared that we might walk away with the win. However, the Padres came crawling back to level the score at 4-4 in the latter innings. We held on with triumph in sight, but alas, it wasn't to be. Fernando Tatis Jr. crushed our spirits with a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, clinching the game for the Padres with a final score of 6-4.Despite the heartbreak, our beloved Angels showcased some serious talent tonight. Let's keep cheering them on as they battle through the season. Go Halos!
