Pitching Dominance 
Our pitching staff was outstanding from the get-go. Not a single run allowed in the first two innings and just one run conceding in the 3rd inning. A solid pitching showcase that kept the Cardinals at bay and let's not forget about those clutch strikeouts!Top of the 3rd Inning
Although the Cardinals managed to score thanks to a single by Nolan Arenado, we shouldn’t overlook the exceptional play from our defense that minimized the damage. Great job keeping it to just one run, Reds!Bottom of the 3rd Inning - Fireworks Begin!
