Fourth Inning

Cincinnati found some respite in this inning when they managed their sole run of the game thanks to Matt McLain’s timely hit that brought TJ Friedl home. This brief moment of success was overshadowed by continued struggles at bat for other players like Jose Trevino who failed to make contact consistently.

Fifth Inning

Sixth Inning

New Yorkers once again showcased why they're considered formidable opponents adding two more runs increasing gap between themselves & hosts . Ian Gibaut tried hard containing damage but ultimately couldn’t stop relentless assault mounted upon him & fellow pitchers throughout match duration .
