On a Saturday morning matchup, the Mariners succumbed to the Giants, with a final score of 5-10.  

How it Happened:  

The Giants initially secured a two-run lead in the opening inning, maintaining a scoreless streak until the bottom of the sixth. A sudden surge of 8 runs in the final three innings propelled the Giants to victory over the Mariners. 

  

Despite Benny Nazario's resilient performance at third base, Marin encountered difficulties in generating offensive momentum. Wyatt Davis showcased moments of brilliance with two runs, while Lucas Schaefer contributed with two hits and two walks. Matteo Bellisimo's commendable defensive play at first base, unfortunately, couldn't prevent Marin from experiencing their first loss. 

A shining light for Marin, Chris Delangis, demonstrated prowess at the plate by accumulating an impressive five RBIs. His display of both power and precision was a notable highlight in an otherwise challenging game for the Mariners.
