First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams as neither managed to score in the first inning. The Rockies' defense was solid, allowing only one hit from the Halos. This set the tone for what would be an impressive defensive display throughout much of the game.


Second Inning


In the second inning, Colorado's offense started to find its rhythm. Braxton Fulford contributed significantly by getting on base and eventually scoring one of his team's runs. The Rox capitalized on this momentum, adding another run in the third inning thanks to consistent hitting from players like Adael Amador.


Fourth Inning


The fourth inning was pivotal for Colorado as they extended their lead by scoring two more runs. Their hitters were relentless, with Jordan Beck leading an aggressive charge that resulted in four hits during this period alone. Meanwhile, Chase Dollander kept things tight on the mound with efficient pitching that limited Los Angeles' opportunities.


Seventh Inning


As tensions rose in later innings, particularly during a scoreless fifth and sixth innings for both teams, it was again Colorado who broke through first in the seventh inning by adding two more runs to their tally. This offensive surge put pressure on Los Angeles as they struggled to respond effectively despite some late-game efforts.


Eighth Inning


The eighth inning saw a resurgence from Los Angeles when they scored three runs off three hits; however, it wasn't enough to close down Colorado's lead entirely. Zach Agnos played a crucial role here by maintaining composure under pressure and ensuring minimal damage was done before closing out his stint on top form.


Throughout these innings combined efforts between pitchers like Juan Mejia ensured that any potential comeback attempts were thwarted efficiently without conceding further ground beyond what had already been lost earlier within those frames themselves - thus securing victory ultimately via strategic execution overall across all fronts involved therein too!
