The championship game against the Braves was a high-scoring roller-coaster ride. At the end of the second inning, the Giants were down by nine runs. Following a pep talk by Coach Darryl, outstanding defensive play ignited the Giants’ comeback. Going into the sixth inning, the Giants had closed the gap to two runs. They dug in at the plate and proceeded to put nine runs on the scoreboard.
The Braves answered with five runs of their own, but fell short by a score of 20-18 – and the championship celebration was on. Congratulations, Giants!
