First Inning


The Royals started strong in the first inning with an early run that set the tone for their offensive strategy. Vinnie Pasquantino's consistent performance from previous games continued as he contributed significantly to K.C.'s initial momentum. Meanwhile, Drew Waters showcased his batting prowess by maintaining a perfect average and driving in a crucial run.


Fifth Inning


A pivotal moment came during the fifth inning when K.C.'s bats came alive again to score three runs off two hits. This surge was instrumental in building a lead that would challenge Slam Diego's defense and pitching staff. Bobby Witt Jr., known for his dynamic playstyle, added pressure on the Friars' fielders with his aggressive approach.


Seventh Inning


Despite being held scoreless through several innings by San Diego's resilient pitching lineup, including standout performances from their bullpen, K.C.'s persistence paid off once more in the seventh inning as they managed another hit but failed to convert it into runs due to tight defensive plays by Manny Machado and company.


Eighth Inning


In what proved to be another turning point for Kansas City, they capitalized on opportunities presented during the eighth inning by scoring two additional runs from three hits. This offensive burst further solidified their lead against San Diego’s attempts at closing down gaps defensively.


Ninth Inning


As tension mounted towards game's end during ninth inning playtime; however - despite allowing one more run - Boys in Blue held firm under pressure thanks largely due efforts made collectively across both hitting & pitching departments alike which ultimately secured them victory over Friars who had been relentless throughout match duration itself!
