Second Inning


Continuing their relentless pursuit, the Pirates added another 2 runs in the second inning. Their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was evident as they maintained their offensive rhythm. The Rox struggled to contain Pittsburgh's lineup, which seemed determined to keep pushing forward.


Sixth Inning


After a brief lull in scoring during innings three through five, both teams reignited their offenses in the sixth inning. The Pirates once again found success at bat, adding 3 more runs with strategic hitting and taking advantage of any defensive lapses by Colorado. Meanwhile, the Blake Street Bombers responded with a surge of their own, tallying 4 runs and narrowing Pittsburgh's lead.


Eighth Inning


In a game where every run counted, Pittsburgh managed to extend its advantage further by adding another run in the eighth inning without registering any hits—demonstrating patience and discipline at bat that paid off when it mattered most.


Final Outcome


Despite Colorado's efforts to mount a comeback late in the game—scoring all of their 5 total runs between innings four and six—the Buccos held firm defensively through nine innings of play. With this victory over Colorado (9-5), Pittsburgh improved its record for this season series against them while maintaining momentum heading into future matchups.
