First Inning


The game began quietly for both teams as neither managed to score in the first inning. The Yankees had one hit but couldn't capitalize on it, while the Tigers were unable to get on base.


Fifth Inning


The action picked up in the fifth inning when Detroit broke through with two runs off two hits. This set the tone for what would become a dominant performance by the Motor City Kitties.


Eighth Inning


A pivotal moment came during the eighth inning when Detroit unleashed an offensive barrage, scoring five runs on five hits and taking advantage of a Yankees error. This explosive inning was crucial in securing their commanding lead over New York.


Ninth Inning


In their final turn at bat, Detroit added three more runs from four hits to seal their victory. Meanwhile, New York managed only one run throughout nine innings despite eight hits overall.


Key players like Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter contributed significantly to this win with consistent hitting performances that kept pressure on Yankee pitchers all night long.
