A Rollercoaster Win for the Nationals
Wow, Nationals fans, what a game! 
A Rocky Start
The game began with a concerning start for our Nationals. The Mets took an early lead in the top of the first inning, racking up a whopping 5 runs. Our defense struggled as a throwing error by center fielder Dylan Crews allowed more Mets players to cross home plate. The unease continued as our batters were quickly retired in the bottom of the first without any impactful offense.Crews and Adams Deliver Hope
After the dust settled from the top innings, Dylan Crews started a massive shift in momentum with a solo home run in the second inning. While the Mets added another run to extend their lead to 7-1, the bottom of the seventh inning was where our team truly came to life. Josh Bell kicked it off with a single to bring in Luis García Jr., followed by crucial hits from Jose Tena and Alex Call. The highlight? Riley Adams connecting for a sensational three-run homer!

A Spectacular Finish
Heading into the ninth inning trailing by just one run, the tension was palpable. With Jacob Young stepping in as pinch runner after Call's double, Keibert Ruiz, pinch-hitting for Adams, strategically advanced Young to third. CJ Abrams then tied the game with a clutch single, scoring Young. When James Wood walked, it felt like we had the momentum. A dramatic throwing error by Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso sealed the win as Abrams raced home! Nationals win 8-7! 
It's one of those games that reminds you why baseball is full of surprises and why we love this team. Great job to all the players for hanging in there and delivering such an exhilarating victory! Way to go, Nats!
