The game started off pretty rocky for us. The Padres drew first blood in the 1st inning with Fernando Tatis Jr. finding his way home thanks to a single by Manny Machado. Our defense struggled to contain their momentum in the 3rd as Jake Cronenworth and Gavin Sheets added a few more to their tally, bringing the score to 5-0 against us.Show of Power and Resilience
Our bats got cracking in the 4th inning when Michael Toglia launched a monster homer to right-center, putting us on the board.
In the 6th, Ryan McMahon followed with his own beautiful shot out of the park. Despite being down 12-2 going into the 8th, we showed true grit. Jordan Beck and McMahon added singles and doubles, and Sean Bouchard kept us fighting with timely hits. The highlight of our comeback efforts was in the 9th when Hunter Goodman tripled, and Moniak added a sacrifice fly to bring in critical runs, sparking hope. Alas, the final score was 13-9, but the Rockies showed heart till the last out.
