Fifth Inning


In an attempt to regain control, Detroit's pitcher Jack Flaherty delivered some impressive throws but ultimately conceded another run in this inning due to Cleveland’s persistent batting efforts.


Eighth Inning


Despite efforts from players like Kerry Carpenter who maintained a batting average of .333 and contributed one of Detroit’s five hits during this period, it was not enough for Motor City Kitties as they continued struggling offensively without any runs scored.

Ninth Inning


The final inning saw Cleveland sealing their victory with four additional runs. This late surge was facilitated by effective hitting strategies and capitalizing on errors made by Detroit’s bullpen which had an ERA of 11.571 during this segment.


Detroit's pitching staff showed moments of promise; however, inconsistencies led them astray as evidenced by John Brebbia’s ERA standing at 9.0 while Sean Guenther recorded an even higher ERA of 13.5 across his appearances on mound duty today - highlighting areas needing improvement moving forward into future matchups against formidable opponents such as these G-Men from Ohio state lines!
