Despite our valiant efforts, we fell just short, with the Brewers edging us out 6-5 in a game that had us on the edge of our seats until the very last out.Early Game Jitters and a Surge of Hope
The game started off as a pitching duel, with both teams locked in a stalemate until the top of the 2nd inning when the Brewers struck first blood with back-to-back homers from Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz, putting us in a 2-0 deficit. However, our Royals showed their fighting spirit in the bottom of the 5th inning, rallying to take a 4-2 lead thanks to a crucial double by Vinnie Pasquantino and a follow-up double by Salvador Perez. This turnaround had us all
and believing that victory was within our grasp.A Tug of War
Both teams battled fiercely, with the Royals managing to extend their lead to 5-3 in the bottom of the 7th, courtesy of another key RBI from Pasquantino. But just as victory seemed imminent, baseball reminded us all of its cruel unpredictability.A Shocking Ninth-Inning Turnaround
Our hearts were in our throats during the top of the 9th inning as Willy Adames of the Brewers delivered a devastating blow – a three-run homer that suddenly flipped the score in their favor, 6-5. Despite our best efforts in the bottom of the 9th, including a hopeful single by Kyle Isbel, our rally was cut short, leaving us with a gut-wrenching loss.Reflections

Pasquantino was particularly impressive, stepping up with clutch hits, and although Salvador Perez struggled with strikeouts, his RBI double was a highlight.
