A Rollercoaster Start
Brewers fans, what an emotional rollercoaster! The game started tough for us in the top of the 1st inning. A fielding error by Joey Ortiz allowed Shohei Ohtani to get on base, and before we knew it, the Dodgers had the bases loaded. Walks and a few timely hits put us in a quick 3-0 hole. It was a rough start, but our team didn't back down!
The 2nd Inning Comeback
Our guys responded perfectly in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Jake Bauers ignited the comeback with a huge homer to right field! Brice Turang kept the momentum going by tripling to right, allowing Sal Frelick to score. Jackson Chourio then tied the game with an infield single that brought Turang home. By the end of the 2nd, we leveled the score at 3-3! 
Taking the Lead in the 4th
Our boys kept it strong. Garrett Mitchell drew a walk and stole second to set the stage. A fielder's choice error by Enrique Hernandez allowed Mitchell to score, giving us a 4-3 lead! It wasn’t the cleanest way to grab it, but we'll take it any day. The Brewers were on top and the crowd was buzzing!
Responding to Pressure in the 7th
The Dodgers tried to mount a comeback in the 7th. With Mookie Betts scoring on Miguel Rojas' single, the game was tied again at 4-4. But our team didn't flinch. Joey Ortiz got hit by a pitch and advanced with a sacrifice by Brice Turang. A clutch single from Jackson Chourio, followed by a fielding error, scored Ortiz, putting us back in front 5-4!
Closing It Out in Style
In the top of the 9th, we brought in Devin Williams to close it out, and he did not disappoint. Shohei Ohtani flied out, Mookie Betts struck out swinging, and Freddie Freeman grounded out to second. Ball game! Victory secured!
