The Angels managed to secure only three hits throughout the game and scored their runs in the fourth and seventh innings.

The Angels' pitching staff faced challenges as well, with an overall earned run average (ERA) of 7.875 for the game and a whip of 1.625.

On offense, one highlight for the Angels was a home run that contributed significantly to their scoring efforts. However, they struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities overall, evidenced by their .100 batting average during this contest and leaving six runners on base.
