Baseball Game - Goldpanners vs. Kingsmen

The Goldpanners baseball season opened up a few weeks ago, and I have been trying to go to one game a week. I find baseball appealing because of the geometric and mathematical nature of the game, the pleasant look of the field, and the subtleties of the game play, which aren't obvious until you do some research on the game.

The Friday game (2023-06-16) started off with the Kingsmen gaining 4 runs in the first inning, and then another run a few innings later. It didn't look like the Goldpanners were making any progress, until an exciting fifth inning when they brought home all runners in a bases-loaded scenario, and with a few more runs were able to tie it 5-5 at the end of the inning. I had to leave at that point, since I was working early on Saturday.
