For some time, it seemed like the momentum was entirely in Toronto’s favor. However, our boys rallied back in the fourth inning. Nolan Gorman electrified the crowd with a three-run homer, driving in Alec Burleson and Nolan Arenado, who had already secured an RBI with a single earlier in the inning. This tied the game at 4-4, showcasing the relentless spirit of our Cardinals.
