What a game, Tigers fans! Our boys managed to claw out a win against the Boston Red Sox with a final score of 2-1. Let's dive into the highlights of the action-packed game! 
Top of the 1st: A Rocky Start
The game started off a bit shaky as Tyler O'Neill from the Red Sox hit a solo homer to left-center. Despite this early setback, our defense managed to settle down quickly, getting Rafael Devers to strike out swinging.
Bottom of the 2nd: Tigers Roar Back 
Spencer Torkelson kicked things off with a single to left. Zach McKinstry followed with a double to right, putting runners in scoring positions. The man of the hour, Trey Sweeney, doubled to left bringing home both Torkelson and McKinstry! The Tigers took the lead 2-1 and never looked back! 
Pitching Dominance
Our pitchers were simply outstanding. Tarik Skubal showed his steel, keeping the Red Sox hitters in check. Even though there were a few hiccups (a couple of costly errors), the defense held strong. Special shoutout to Jason Foley for sealing the deal in the 9th inning!
Bottom of the 7th: Drama On The Bases
Ryan Kreidler got a single to left but was picked off and caught stealing second. Shortly after, Parker Meadows also singled to center only to be picked off and caught stealing second as well. Tough luck, but we stayed resilient!
Holding The Line: 8th and 9th Inning
Our defense was absolutely clutch in the final innings. Quick outs from Kerry Carpenter and Bailey Weiss ensured the Red Sox couldn’t capitalize. O'Neill did get on base with a walk in the 9th, but Foley got Devers to line out, ending the game! Victory to the Tigers!
Final Thoughts
It was a gutsy performance from our Tigers. The combination of timely hitting and strong pitching secured us this crucial win. Trey Sweeney was undoubtedly the hero, with that game-changing double in the 2nd inning. An excellent overall team effort! Onward and upward, Tigers fans!
