Sadly, the game turned in the top of the 6th inning when Austin Wynns hit a towering two-run homer off Schreiber, tying the score at 2-2. Our pitching continued to battle, but the Athletics managed to edge ahead with a solo homer from Nick Kurtz in the 9th inning. That proved to be the game-changer.
