The Yankees jumped out to an early advantage, scoring in the first inning behind RBI plays from Jeris Medina, Brian, and Jacob Riley before extending their lead to 5-2 in the second inning on a Medina RBI single. The Titans responded with a decisive sixth-inning comeback, as Korey Gillespie tied the game with an RBI double before Gill’s two-run single put Dallas ahead for good.

Gill and Colton Connolly each drove in two runs for Dallas, while Gillespie, Jacob Calderon, Greg Kolesar, and Steven Baker each contributed a hit. The Titans showed strong discipline at the plate with six walks, created pressure on the bases with five stolen bases, turned two double plays, and played error-free defense. Connolly led the team with seven defensive chances.
