️Early Inning Battle
The first inning wasn't the ideal start we hoped for, with the Mariners jumping to a 2-0 lead. Mitch Garver dealt us an early blow, driving in two runs with a double. But hold your heads high, Astros fans, because our defense held strong afterward, preventing further damage despite some tense bases loaded situations.Our bats didn't come alive immediately as Jeremy Peña and Isaac Paredes got some solid hits, but we were kept off the scoreboard after the first inning.

Our first baseman brought in the first run, driving in Isaac Paredes, followed by a gritty sacrifice fly from Victor Caratini, narrowing the Mariners' lead to 3-2.
