The game prior presented a marathon battle that extended into twelve innings against the same opponent. Here, resilience was on full display as they narrowly lost by one run (6-7). Their pitchers held up better in this outing with an overall ERA of 3.75 across twelve innings but still showed vulnerability by allowing critical runs late in the game.
