This was a great game between the Giants and the Reds, which was a back and forth game to the very end.

The Reds took an early lead in the early innings, but the Giants came back to tie the game. The Reds took a 10-9 lead into the bottom of the 6th. The Giants had the top of the lineup due going into the bottom of the 6th.

The Reds got the 1st out on a fly ball by Fox Stewart to Jess Robles @ pitcher. Dylan Wright was up next and worked the count for a walk. Man on 1st. Devon Patry was up next and worked the count to a walk as well. Runners on 1st and 2nd and the Giants threatening to at least tie.

Caden Doll was due next with runners on 1st and 2nd. Dylan and Devon advance one base each on pass ball. After working the cound 2-1, Caden finally gets a pitch he can drive, and he drives it into centerfield!! Dylan scores, and Devon is sprinting from 2nd rounding third. The throw comes into home plate, but Devon crosses the plate before the ball arrives at home. Giants win Game#7 of the Hard Ball Classic with a walk off Triple by Caden Doll!!
