It was a thrill to see the Dodgers grab an early lead, proving our offense was ready to rumble. The Nationals managed to squeeze in a couple of runs by the 2nd, but that was as close as they'd get to challenging us for the rest of the game.Middle Innings: Dodgers Extend the Lead
By the 3rd inning, the Dodgers were heating up. Max Muncy singled to right bringing Smith to score, pushing our lead further. It was around this time we could all feel the momentum solidly in our favor.
The Nationals couldn't match our energy, with our pitchers keeping them at bay and our batters consistently finding gaps. A special shoutout to Gavin Lux for his 5th inning single driving in two runs – that boy's got talent!Late Innings: Sealing the Deal
The pièce de résistance came in the later innings; specifically, the top of the 8th saw Andy Pages homer to left field.
Talk about making a statement! But we didn’t stop there. Both Ohtani and Freddie Freeman continued to pound the Nationals' pitching, contributing significantly to our imposing lead.Closing Thoughts
