Reds' Early Domination in the First Inning
What a fantastic start to the game for our Cincinnati Reds!

With Elly De La Cruz's quick base running, a single soon turned into another score thanks to a throwing error. Gavin Lux kept the momentum alive with an RBI double.

Our guys didn't stop there. The 6th inning was another showcase of dominance. De La Cruz doubled, scoring Trevino and Friedl, followed by contributions from Spencer Steer and Jake Fraley driving in runs to bump up the score to 12-0. Our offense was a force to be reckoned with today!
