Third Inning


By the third inning, Toronto began to assert dominance. They added two more runs through strategic hitting and capitalized on opportunities presented by San Francisco's pitching. This effort was crucial in building momentum for what was yet to come.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning proved pivotal for the Blue Birds as they unleashed a powerful offensive display that netted them four runs from four hits. This surge was instrumental in creating a gap that would prove difficult for the G-Men to close.


Sixth Inning
