First Inning

Second Inning


In the second inning, the Friars took an early lead by scoring two runs on two hits. However, the Jays responded with two hits of their own but couldn't capitalize on them to put runs on the board.

Fourth Inning


The fourth inning saw another offensive push from Toronto as they added two more runs from two additional hits. This gave them a temporary lead and showcased their ability to exploit gaps in Slam Diego’s defense effectively.

Fifth Through Ninth Innings


Both teams struggled offensively during these innings, with neither able to add any more runs until late into regulation play. The tension mounted as each side's pitching staff held firm against opposing batters' attempts at breaking through.


Tenth Inning


As extra innings commenced, both teams managed one run apiece; however it was clear that fatigue might soon become a factor given how tightly contested every pitch had been thus far throughout this matchup between evenly matched squads vying hard for supremacy over one another here today!


Eleventh Inning


In what proved decisive ultimately: With bases loaded thanks largely due diligence displayed earlier by Alejandro Kirk who reached base safely twice during his appearances today alone (and whose batting average remains stellar), Bo Bichette delivered crucial hit allowing teammates cross plate twice thereby sealing deal once finally all said done! Meanwhile bullpen efforts led primarily Yariel Rodríguez ensured no further damage inflicted upon home side despite best efforts made otherwise visitors’ lineup trying desperately salvage something positive outcome-wise before time ran out completely altogether altogether altogether...
