Brady House delivered a clutch sacrifice fly to bring home Lile and tie the game at 1-1. Though the Cubs retaliated with another run in the bottom of the fifth, our bullpen tightened up, keeping the game within reach.The Big Comeback
The ninth inning was when the Nationals truly shone. After Robert Hassell III led off with a spectacular home run, we witnessed critical contributions from CJ Abrams and James Wood, who reached base safely. The highlight came from pinch-hitter Josh Bell, who launched a magnificent three-run homer, putting the Nationals ahead 5-3!
Daylen Lile added more excitement with a triple, and House drove him home with a sacrifice play to make it 6-3. Our bullpen then did an outstanding job of closing out the game, with José Ferrer securing the final outs to seal the victory.
