Thrilling Victory in the 7th Inning 
What a game, A's fans! We pulled off a nail-biter against the Chicago White Sox with a final score of 3-2. It was a tough start, but our team showed resilience and fought hard to get that "W"!
Early Struggles
The game didn't start the way we wanted. Andrew Benintendi hit a 2-run homer in the 2nd inning, giving the White Sox an early lead. Lawrence Butler had a rough moment in that inning with a fielding error, but that didn't keep our spirits down. Despite great defensive plays, our bats remained quiet for the first six innings, struggling to make any significant impact.
Game-Changing 7th Inning
The magic happened in the bottom of the 7th inning. Brent Rooker started it off with a single, and Kyle McCann followed with a walk. Then, Abraham Toro walked, loading up the bases. Armando Alvarez drove in Rooker with a single, breaking the ice for our offense. Zack Gelof followed up with a clutch single, allowing Toro to score and tie the game at 2-2. Finally, Butler's sacrifice fly brought Alvarez home, giving us the decisive run. What a comeback!
Lockdown Defense 🛡
Our pitchers were stellar in the late innings. TJ McFarland and Hogan Harris both pitched beautifully, keeping the White Sox from scoring any more runs. Mason Miller shut the door in the 9th with a perfect inning. Special shoutout to our defense, which stood tall and made crucial plays when it mattered the most.
Wrapping It Up 
It was a hard-fought victory and a great team effort. Every player had a role in this win, and it felt fantastic to see our Athletics showing such grit and determination to come back from a 0-2 deficit. Let's keep this momentum going, A's fans. On to the next one!
Go A's!
