Dominant First Inning 
Wow, what an incredible start to the game! In the bottom of the 1st inning, we set the tone with some serious offense. Taylor Ward kicked things off with a walk, followed by Zach Neto getting hit by a pitch. With the bases loaded, Nolan Schanuel singled to center, setting the stage perfectly. Then, Anthony Rendon delivered, driving in Ward and Neto. But the real fireworks were delivered by Mickey Moniak, who blasted a 437-foot homer to right-center, bringing in Schanuel and Rendon. That's a 5-0 lead, and we're just getting started!More Fireworks in the 2nd Inning 
We weren’t done just yet. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Niko Kavadas stepped up and crushed a 404-foot homer. This extended our lead to 6-0. Though we struck out swinging for the rest of the inning, the damage was certainly done. We were putting the Dodgers on notice!Homers Keep Coming 
By the time the 5th inning came around, it was Taylor Ward again, stepping up with a solo homer to left-center. With a 399-foot shot, he extended our lead to 7-0. A spectacular performance, and the firepower just kept coming.Pitching Mastery 
Our pitching staff was absolutely stellar today. We held the Dodgers scoreless through six innings. Even with threats here and there, our pitchers came through with clutch outs and limited any potential damage. Late-Game Insurance Runs 
In the bottom of the 8th, we added a few more insurance runs. Mickey Moniak walked, followed by a Logan O'Hoppe single. Jo Adell then got an RBI single, Taylor Ward brought home another run, and Zach Neto capped it off with a single to left, scoring Adell. The scoreboard read 10-1, and there was no looking back!Closing It Out 
In the top of the 9th, the Dodgers tried to rally but couldn't get past our defense. A flyout, a single, a walk, and then a double play to end it. Final score: Angels 10, Dodgers 1. An absolute masterclass from our boys in red!MVPs of the Game
