Fourth Inning


In the fourth inning, Tampa Bay's Christopher Morel made a significant impact by scoring their only run of the game. This was achieved through a combination of strategic hitting and exploiting an error from Toronto's defense. Morel's performance was one of the few highlights for the Rayhawks as they struggled to maintain momentum throughout the match.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal for Toronto as they scored all three of their runs during this period. A home run from one of their key players contributed significantly to this surge, putting pressure on Tampa Bay's pitching staff. Despite efforts from Eric Orze and Ryan Pepiot, who had commendable statistics in previous games, they were unable to contain Toronto’s offensive push effectively.
