Meanwhile, the Twins began to chip away at our lead. Trevor Larnach's solo homer in the 4th put the Twins on the board and brought the score to 4-1. Despite this, our pitchers were able to control the game and keep the Twins from gaining too much ground in the early innings.Late Inning Heartbreak

Willi Castro's home run in the 9th turned the game back in their favor. Then Carlos Correa continued the assault in the 10th with a two-run homer, ultimately leading the Twins to an out-of-reach lead.
