What a game, Rangers fans! Although we came up short, our boys put up a valiant fight against the Athletics in a 3-2 nail-biter. Our pitching staff, headlined by Rocker and Leiter, kept us in the contest and gave us chances to win.Slow Start But Strong Finish
Our bats started cold, with Marcus Semien popping up and Josh Smith grounding out in the first inning. However, Wyatt Langford showed great discipline and patience, managing to draw a walk. Unfortunately, Adolis García couldn't capitalize, grounding out to end the inning. The Athletics, fortunately, did no better in their half.Rocky Third Inning for Rocker
The third inning was tough to watch as the A's scored two runs. After loading the bases, JJ Bleday and Shea Langeliers managed to drive in runs, putting us in a 2-0 hole.Rally in the Sixth
It wasn’t until the sixth inning that our bats came alive. Josh Smith walked, followed by a single from Wyatt Langford. Then, Adolis García singled to bring in Smith, cutting their lead to 3-1. Nathaniel Lowe grounded out but managed to bring in another run, making it 3-2.
Can't Complete the Comeback
We had opportunities but couldn't complete the comeback. Langford walked and stole second in the eighth, but García grounded out to end the inning. We were down to our final three outs in the ninth, and despite our efforts, the game ended with three quick outs.Final Thoughts
A tough loss, but it's clear we have potential when everything clicks. Wyatt Langford had a good eye at the plate, and our pitchers showed resilience. We'll get them next time, Rangers fans! Let's keep the faith and cheer on our team!
