September 11th 2001 is a day that will forever be etched into our national memory as we commemorate the anniversary of that day. We remember and honor those. We lost the heroism of all who bravely sacrificed their own lives to save others. At the conclusion of the anthem will feature a flyover by 4 F-35 lightning to from the 421st fighter squadron known as the black widows. The pilots include Griffin Jackson's brother, Captain Parker Jacks and sister in law, Captain Chandler Jacks rubber game of this series. Matthews facing Taylor. A must win for the twins here tonight. We'll see how it plays out. We're just about set for baseball drives one out to center field pretty well. Ky is back out for the wall that is gone. Taylor ward to straight away center field. It's a tracer his 23rd home run. The on base streak continues and the Angels lead one 07 home run during this stretch for Taylor War, that's the first home run by a right handed batter against Matthew. The dead center field that was 100 and 9.4 miles per hour off the bat. So the next batter is Netto got in on zack Netto this one to left and Willie Castro, the play here's Nolan one ball, two strikes as he laces one the other way and has a base hit and Angels have a one out hit runner on and now the next batter, ground ball up the middle trickles in the center field. A base hit big turn around second by sea but he stays put back to back one out single ground ball base hit and the Angels have more traffic on one in two on one out runners on 1st and 2nd. As Mickey Moniak will be three hits in the inning against Matthews. He had a rough time in the first inning in his start so far he's allowed 11th inning runs struck came out in 95 1st strike out of the game for the twins big league walk for Matthews. See if he comes out here morning the first inning with one and three on and two out. The answer is yes important game for Minnesota. They have an off day tomorrow and it kind of, you kind of feel like the home stretch begins on Friday the final two weeks and change of the season. That is really when it's, it's the ultimate crunch time going on. Popped up back at first base. Santana retreats. He's into foul territory near the warning track, makes the catch and the Angels will leave them loaded here in the top of the first inning. Stay within the strike zone. One guy after another, see if they can pick up where they left off last night stands for Walner Hammer to left center field back goes deep. It goes and that is gone. And matt Walner answers for the twins. He homers once again here at target field, his 13th and the twins answer back. It's a 11 game effortless. Just an effortless cut with so much power. That's the kind of power that that kid has. That's Jim to type power. He's now homered in back to back games, Anna Yanks one to the second baseman right at 32, 1 to 2 on Trevor Larnach and he grounds this one to the right side and pass to sliding Drury and nick has a two out single hitter is Royce Lewis shows bunt and it should have an easy play to end the inning number three and they were checking Zey Matthews Finger during the last half inning. First batter is the pitch. Well, it's a high fly ball, it's carrying deep out in the right field and that one is out of here. Nolan Shana home run number 13 of the season. Angels have had a couple of solo shots in the first three innings and are back on. It's now 2 to 1 and the struggles against the left handed hitters continue good swing. He generally does a lot of damage early will be the first out one pitch and one away bouncer or no. It's a liner that's caught by Netto right near second base and two quick outs here to start off the Minnesota bottom of the third and the next batter will be Walner. Here's the delivery and this is popped up left side of the infield. Netto taking charge still on the infield dirt will make the catch not too far from the second base bag and a quick clean inning for Kowitz here and Rocco ball is going to head out and he's going to make a move. So Matthew 61 pitches will leave here two in one on one out in the fourth inning, Rocco Baldelli. This is a huge game for the twins. You could dare say this is a must win for Minnesota tonight and that's why you see the urgency from Baldelli as the Twins go to the pen Sans takes over for Matthews here in the fourth inning. This is an opportunity for Rocco Baldelli with his number five starter to just use all of his a relievers today and try to help Minnesota get an important win Attana giving chase over near the mesh. Yeah, no play at the end of this play. I thought this was pretty cool. Santana chasing the foul ball there, little knuckle for the fans. 38 years old. You just know, you never know how many moments, more moments you're gonna get on the baseball field. But so do with two on it, it's going to be Netto up. Netto is flying out both times. Von runner at second warden runner at first. He struck him out with the splitter on the bottom of the fourth inning. It'll be Santana nick Lewis flinch trail 2 to 1 off. Santana grounded out, hit the ball hard and jumps on the first pitch and laces it into the left field leadoff single for the twins early swings here tonight for the twins offensively singles. The twins have the tying run at third and nobody out to run an opportunity for Royce Lewis who attempted to bunt his last time up with two outs, strike three called at the bottom of the zone. What a pitch 98. He threw a two out of three pitches at 9897. Castro. Tough guy to double up. He runs too good line to center field. There's a base hit. Santana scores. Nick will try for third base. The throw there is not in time as Castro makes second. Castro put it in play. Drives in a run good baserunning follows the twins have tied it at two, second and third, only one out second hit this month for Castro ties the game and now brooks Lee one to left center field in the gap that won't be caught that's going to roll and find the wall. Two runs will score. Lee will stop at second base. The twins take the lead. It's 4 to 2 here at target field. This is looking a lot more like it did in last night's ball game with just stacking good at bat after good at bat solid contact guys picking each other up. So Lee snaps the old for 19. Another early swing, an absolute honor to be joined by Captain Carson Jacks and Captain Parker Jacks, younger brothers of Griffin Jacks, both instrumentally important. What we all saw here tonight, Carson throwing out the first pitch and parker, one of the pilots in a flyover before the game tonight. It's pretty cool. We've been planning this for about six months. Thank you to the Twins for having us out here. Thanks to the Air Force for giving us the opportunity to fly all the way out here. It's definitely a big mission. A lot of planning went into this to get us all out here, but it's pretty cool to do something special with all three of us brothers. Obviously, we're all in the Air force. It's pretty cool to have Griffin hopefully pitching the night being out here in the twin stadium. It's pretty nerve racking, making sure we get the timing all, but it sounds like from all the fans that it went, ok, So it was pretty cool. We couldn't really see a lot from the air but the noise was, was electric. We can hear from up there. Two, up, two down here in the sixth inning brings up Adams who has struck out twice today. Angels struck out nine times in the first five and two thirds innings. There's a fly ball left center field hit pretty well after it is Ky out near the warning track at the wall pitch. The first major league home run for Jordan Adams into the bullpen 105.5 off the bat exit velocity for Jordan Adams first big league ball. What do you know Griffin Jacks coming in to pitch for the twins. How perfect is this guys? We just heard from Griffin's younger twin brothers hoping that they would see him pitch and here he is. Griffin was hoping to get the chance to pitch here tonight and here he is seventh inning. How about two here, Lee, there's one, there's 2.2 down 0 to 2 on Lopez. He struck him out with a breaking ball. Captain Jacks coming in. It's still 43 in favor of the Minnesota Twins. You have to score at least one of these runs here. It will be Miranda coming off the bench and that process has to be big part of the field, something I can hit in the air. My job is to make sure that one run scores anything more than that as a bonus bases are loaded. One out twins have an excellent opportunity to add on to a one run lead. Hunter Strickland veteran right hander to face Royce Lewis with the bases loaded and two out. The twins had 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. Walner struck out the intentional walk and a strikeout by the pinch hitter, Miranda Royce Lewis coming up, bases loaded two outs. Carlos Correa ipad in hand Royce bases loaded last season. Unbelievable four grand slams last year hammers this one to left field deep back. Of course, he did. You might have a review here, but I'm pretty sure this ball got out of the home run. We're going to have a, you now. I thought that that wire fence is in play in which case that ball did not go over and there should be, I suppose it would be considered an automatic or a ground rule double. You'd still take the double with a couple of runs driven in. But Mr Grand Slam would like to see another one after review, the call on the field is overturned, the ball is alive and in play, we got two runs for runner will be played for 2nd and 3rd to overturn. It's a two run double. So it's a 63 game moniak th and Wman against Jack Jack strikes out. Moniak out. Number one, Jacks has to go back out for another inning tonight. Twins have leaned down their bullpen quite a bit tonight. Matthews three and a third field struck him out at the knees back to back strikeouts for Jack broken back ground ball off the bat of eric Wagman and Brooks Lee throws him out. Griffin Jacks first time all year asked to throw two innings and job well done fifth reliever as juan Durant has the ball three outs away from a save and a series win. And Adams at the bottom of the order start the ninth inning with back to back singles and the tying run will come to the play, struck him out with the breaking ball. There's one pitch is swung on a miss and he struck him out again on a curveball back to back strikeouts for Joan Durant and shall will be the final hope for the Angels target field in a hush and shot lines, a base hit. It keeps the game going. It brings Covais to the plate over to third base goes, Adams it is 6 to 4 as the Angels will go to their bench here and it will be Stefani to bat for Lopez reset here for Durant needs one more out. Michael Stefanik grounded to short Brooks lead. He feels he throws and the twins win the game and take the series six for the final. Durant tested here in the ninth inning tonight, but the Roy Lewis swing impactful tonight.
