The contest opened with a burst of energy that left the scoreboard blinking early, as the visiting team looked to build momentum right from the first pitch.
Early Surge
Cecil Lofton’s single to right‑center ignited the offense, allowing Jacob McKenzie to sprint to third and Julio Guerrero to cross the plate, giving the visitors a 1‑0 lead.
Tim Simay followed with a fielder’s choice that also brought McKenzie home, extending the advantage to 2‑0.
The third inning deepened the onslaught; Michael Mylott’s single to second advanced the runner and a throwing error by the second baseman permitted McKenzie to score again, pushing the lead to 3‑0.
Gabe Petrucelli’s line drive down the right‑field line cleared the way for Mylott to cross, the run unearned, and the tally swelled further.
Later, C. Schembra’s single cleared the path for Louie Kegerreis to plate a run, while J. Gauthier’s double to left centre delivered B. Pleau home.
Kye Watson’s clutch hits in the eighth inning produced two more scores, first for Kristian Sprawling and then for Mason Schwalbach, underscoring his pivotal role.
The ninth inning added a final burst as M. Kuska’s single to left field cleared the bases, allowing C. Sullivan and G. Bennett to cross home plate and seal the offensive outburst.
