A Slow Start but a Strong Finish
The game started off quiet with both teams held scoreless through the first inning, as our pitchers managed to keep the Yankees' bats at bay. However, momentum began to build in the 2nd inning when the Orioles took advantage of a throwing error by Yankees' Gleyber Torres, putting us on the scoreboard first. The energy at Camden Yards was electric!
The Turning Point: A 4-Run Rally
The 4th inning was where the magic happened. Jorge Mateo's double, followed by a series of strategic hits from James McCann, Colton Cowser, and Gunnar Henderson, led to three more runs. A single from Adley Rutschman brought in yet another run, solidifying our lead at 4-1 against the Yankees. This inning showcased our Orioles' resolve and ability to capitalize on opportunities.
Pitching: Holding the Line
Our pitchers deserve a standing ovation for their performance tonight. The Yankees managed to squeeze in a run in the 3rd and 6th innings, courtesy of Austin Wells and Juan Soto's homers, but our defense was on fire. The double plays and strikeouts throughout the game were crucial in keeping the Yankees at bay, especially in the later innings. Closing out the game strong, our bullpen ensured the win, with impressive showings in the 8th and 9th innings to seal the deal.
