Fourth Inning


As both teams struggled to find their rhythm offensively through the initial innings, it was not until the fourth that any significant action unfolded. The Bums managed to secure another hit but failed to convert it into runs, leaving fans eager for more offensive firepower.


Seventh Inning


The seventh inning brought a glimmer of hope for Los Angeles as they finally broke through San Francisco's defense. Freddie Freeman contributed significantly by getting on base and eventually scoring thanks to strategic plays by his teammates. This lone run momentarily shifted momentum towards Los Angeles.

Eighth Inning


However, this momentum was short-lived as San Francisco retaliated fiercely in their half of the eighth inning. They capitalized on three hits that led them to score all three of their runs during this period—effectively turning tables against Los Angeles' earlier efforts.


Ninth Inning


Despite attempts from players like Dalton Rushing who had shown promise throughout previous games (with an average batting performance), no further progress could be made by either side within these final moments before time ran out completely—sealing victory firmly within grasping hands belonging solely unto those clad proudly beneath colors representing none other than our very own beloved rivals: The mighty G-Men themselves!
