Their offense managed just five hits total, struggling to string anything together against the Baltimore staff. A few bright spots emerged at the plate though.

Fans and scouts are watching slumping bats closely, like Iloy Jimenez going hitlessly despite early promise, and Davis Schneider whiffing three times. Meanwhile, Alfield plays from Dalton Bar Show and others kept things tight in the field. On the mound, starter Josh Fleming had a rough first inning with two earned runs, but bounced back strong. Players like Louis Barland, Brendan Little, and Mason Flewhardy delivered clean frames
