First Inning

The opening inning saw both teams testing the waters, with the Padres managing just one hit while keeping the South Siders to four hits but only allowing one run. This set an early tone for what would be a closely contested match.

Third Inning

In the third inning, San Diego's offense came alive. Nick Castellanos was instrumental in this surge, hitting his first home run of the preseason and driving in two runs. This pivotal moment gave Slam Diego an edge that they maintained throughout much of the game.

Seventh Inning
