Seventh and Eighth Innings


As we moved into later stages of play (seventh & eighth innings), each team managed just one run apiece; however, it was clear by now that any comeback attempt from Green-and-Gold would be difficult given how well-rounded Minnesota's performance had been up until then - particularly defensively where they committed zero errors throughout all nine frames played!
