Tough Loss in Boston
Last night's game against the Red Sox was a roller-coaster of emotions. We started off with a somewhat slow pace, failing to score in the first inning while the Red Sox managed to get on the board with a sacrifice fly by O'Neill.Volpe's Solo Homer
Anthony Volpe got us back into the game in the top of the 2nd inning with a 409-foot solo homer to center field, tying the game at 1-1. That was a beauty and showed why he's such a promising young talent! Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize further in that inning.Trading Punches
The bottom of the 3rd and 4th innings were tough as the Red Sox kept pushing, scoring twice, leaving us behind at 3-1. But we didn't back down. In the top of the 5th, Trent Grisham doubled to left, bringing home Volpe, and Oswaldo Cabrera singled to push Grisham to third. Alex Verdugo's sacrifice fly tied the game at 3-3.Judge and Wells Go Long
Our spirits soared in the 7th inning when Aaron Judge hit a towering 470-foot homer to center, driving in three runs! That was followed up by Austin Wells' solo homer to right. We took a promising 7-4 lead. When our lineup is clicking, there's no stopping us!Late-Inning Collapse
After leading 7-4, it seemed like we had the game in the bag. But the bottom of the 7th inning saw Rafaela hit a two-run homer, cutting our lead to just one run. Things really unraveled in the bottom of the 8th when the Red Sox scored three more times, leaving us trailing 9-7.Falling Short in the 9th Inning
We had one last chance in the top of the 9th. Austin Wells and Gleyber Torres both singled, giving us a glimmer of hope. But DJ LeMahieu and Anthony Volpe couldn't drive them in, and Aaron Judge had a tough strikeout looking to start the inning. A frustrating end to a hard-fought game.Overall, it was a game of ups and downs, and even though we came up short, there were several memorable moments. Let's hope the team can bounce back strong in the next game! ️
