The first few innings were a pitching masterclass from both sides. The Marlins couldn't get anything going against our pitching, with Bryan De La Cruz and Josh Bell both striking out in the top of the 1st. It was a similar story for the Phillies' first turn at the plate; Bryson Stott, Trea Turner, and Alec Bohm couldn't break through. It wasn’t until the bottom of the 2nd that we saw our first real spark with Brandon Marsh doubling to right field, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize.Mid-Inning Action

Fast forward to the bottom of the 8th, Rojas came up clutch again with a double to center and advancing to third on a wild pitch. Stott hit a sacrifice fly to bring Rojas home, padding our lead to 2-0. This insurance run was crucial and helped give us confidence heading into the final inning.Closing it Out
In the top of the 9th, our defense held strong. A. Sánchez grounded out to third, De La Cruz lined out to right, and Bell struck out swinging. It was lights out from our pitching staff, and we secured the 2-0 victory!Final Thoughts
