First Inning


The Friars started strong, scoring their first run in the opening inning thanks to two hits. However, this early lead was short-lived as both teams remained scoreless in the second inning. The Blue responded in the third inning with one run from two hits, leveling the playing field.


Fourth Inning


The fourth inning proved pivotal for Los Angeles as they unleashed an offensive surge, scoring five runs on six hits. This outburst put them firmly ahead and highlighted some of San Diego's defensive vulnerabilities. Despite this setback, Manny Machado stood out for Slam Diego with his consistent performance at bat.


Sixth Inning


San Diego attempted a comeback in the sixth inning when they added another run through two more hits. Yet again, their efforts were overshadowed by defensive lapses that allowed Los Angeles to maintain control of the game.


Final Innings


Innings seven through nine saw no further runs from either team despite several attempts by both sides to change their fortunes. The Friars managed one hit during these innings but could not capitalize on it due to tight pitching from Los Angeles and continued fielding issues on their part.


As fans look forward to future matchups between these rivals, attention turns towards improving fielding accuracy and minimizing errors which have proven costly for San Diego recently.
