Shoutout to Oneil Cruz! What a night for him — he not only single-handedly boosted our lead by slamming that glorious home run in the 5th inning, stretching it to the left center at 391 feet, but he also chipped in with a crucial sacrifice fly in the 9th, notching us another point.
Adam Frazier kept the momentum alive with his timely hits that actually got the scoreboard moving in our favor early on. Kudos as well to Ke'Bryan Hayes for that thrilling triple in the 2nd inning!Nail-Biting Defense
Our pitching crew did a great job of holding back the Rays. The highlight definitely goes to our ace on the mound in the later innings who successfully shut down their hitters. David Bednar came in for the final innings and clinched the game with nerve-racking precision. It was tense, but our bullpen locked it down!
️All in all, a big thank you to the team for this spirited display. Let's keep this momentum going and bring on the next challenge! Go Bucs!
