First Inning


The game kicked off with a strong start from the Twinkies, who managed to score 3 runs on 3 hits. The Motor City Kitties struggled initially as they were unable to put any runs on the board during their first inning. Despite having one hit, they couldn't capitalize on it.


Third Inning


By the third inning, both teams had settled into their rhythm. The Tigs managed to score their first run of the game thanks to a couple of well-timed hits. However, Minnesota's defense held firm and prevented further damage.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning saw another surge from Minnesota as they added two more runs with two hits. This extended their lead significantly and put pressure on Detroit's pitching staff. Troy Melton had difficulty containing Minnesota's batters during this period.


Eighth Inning


A glimmer of hope appeared for Detroit in the eighth inning when they scored two runs off three hits. Kerry Carpenter was instrumental during this stretch with his impressive batting average of .500 and an OPS of 1.25 from previous games contributing significantly here as well.
