What does "102, finally put together a rally" mean?

Does "102, finally put together a rally" mean "at the 102nd inning, finally (Giants) regained their momentum"?

Context:

The Giants, who had not led in the first 27 innings of the series, hitting .102, finally put together a rally, courtesy of rare Reds' blunders.

Sorry. I couldn't find those words in that link. 102' is a statistical measurement of how good the batters are.

As far as I know, 'hitting .102' is a statistical measurement of how good the batters are.

A rally is a recovery, a comeback, a sequence of improvements, sometimes dramatic.

NL888.....hitting .102, finally put together a rally
"hitting" and ".102" go together, not what you bolded. "hitting .102" refers to the team's batting average at the time.

Thank you.
A period (dot) before 102, that confused me. What does the dot mean?

The dot is a decimal point, and a dot before any numerals means that the number is less than 1.
If a hitter or a team had 17 at bats and got 4 hits, their batting average is .235.
Of course, a zero before the dot also means less than 1. But batting averages are expressed without a zero.
