First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams as neither managed to score in the first inning. The Giants and the Rox each struggled to find their rhythm early on, with both teams failing to register any hits or runs.


Second Inning


The second inning saw a burst of energy from the Orange and Black as they took control of the scoreboard. With five hits, including a home run from Dominic Smith who had an impressive .750 batting average in his previous outing, they scored four runs. This offensive surge gave them an early lead over their opponents.


Third and Fourth Innings


Innings three and four saw a shift in momentum as both teams tightened their defenses. The G-Men managed two more hits but failed to add any runs during these innings. Meanwhile, Colorado found some traction in the fourth inning with three hits resulting in two runs, narrowing San Francisco's lead.


Fifth Inning


San Francisco responded strongly in the fifth inning by adding three more runs off two additional hits. This effort was bolstered by Wilmer Flores’ consistent performance at bat with his .400 average contributing significantly throughout this period.


Sixth Through Eighth Innings


As tension mounted through innings six to eight, neither team could capitalize on scoring opportunities despite several attempts. The Giants recorded one hit while maintaining their defensive stance against Colorado’s advances during these frames.


Ninth Inning


The final inning proved decisive for Colorado as they orchestrated a remarkable comeback against San Francisco’s bullpen struggles which had shown vulnerabilities earlier this season (ERA: 10). With three crucial runs scored off two key hits coupled with one error from SF's side – it was enough for them to clinch victory right under SF’s nose just before time ran out!
