Tough Loss for Our Seattle Mariners 
Well, Mariners fans, it wasn't the day we were hoping for at T-Mobile Park as the Angels managed to take this one 5-1. The game started off as a pitching duel, but a rocky 5th inning proved costly. Here's a detailed recap of what went down.First Four Innings: A Pitcher's Battle 
Both teams were locked in a scoreless tie through the first four innings. Josh Rojas (3B) and Cal Raleigh (C) each struck out twice in the early innings, while Tyler Locklear (1B) managed the first hit for us with a single in the 2nd inning. On the mound, our staff got off to a great start, consistently getting Angels' batters to ground out and strike out.Fifth Inning Collapse 
The tide turned in the 5th inning where a series of unfortunate events led to five runs for the Angels. Following a couple of singles, a throwing error by Josh Rojas and a wild pitch allowed the Angels to capitalize. Luis Rengifo drove in two more runs, putting us in a 0-5 hole. Definitely a tough inning to watch.A Glimmer of Hope 
We managed to get on the board in the bottom of the 5th. Jason Vosler (DH) hit a double and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Dylan Moore then walked, setting up a double play by Cade Marlowe that allowed Vosler to score. Unfortunately, that would be the only run for us in the game.Late-Inning Frustration 
Despite a strong outing by our relievers, who kept the Angels scoreless after the 5th inning, our offense struggled to mount a comeback. Cade Marlowe and Victor Robles each got on base in the later innings, but we couldn't string together enough hits to close the gap. The 9th inning saw Luke Raley (LF) and Tyler Locklear strike out, and Dylan Moore popped out to third, sealing the deal.Looking Ahead 
While it's never fun to lose, especially at home, we have to shake off this defeat and get ready for the next game. It's a long season, and there's plenty of baseball left to play. Keep your heads up, Mariners fans – we'll get them next time! 
Go Mariners!
