In the top of the sixth, Enrique Hernández single-handedly evened the score with a clutch hit to bring Teoscar Hernández home. The sheer excitement and pride in seeing the Dodgers tie up the game can't be overstated! But oh, they were just getting warmed up.
The Turn of the Tide
The real turning point came in the top of the eighth inning. With the score still deadlocked at 1-1, James Outman stepped up to the plate and delivered a magnificent double, scoring Teoscar Hernández. But why stop there, right? Miguel Rojas quickly followed with a single that brought Outman home, pushing our lead to 3-1. The energy was electric, and you could feel the hope swelling.Sealing the Deal
