Our fighting spirit showed in the bottom of the 7th when Jo Adell and Rengifo ignited a rally that led to an exciting two-RBI double by Taylor Ward, cutting the deficit to just one run. Then, in the bottom of the 8th, Logan O'Hoppe smashed a solo home run to left-center, tying the game at 5-5 and sending the crowd into a frenzy!
