The Phantoms are starting to fire on all cylinders. Great pitching, improving defense and the bats are finally alive! Starting pitcher Alex pitched 4 solid innings for the win.
Christian is getting better at bats, he’s being more aggressive and starting make better choices. He did strike out at the bottom of the 1st inning because he couldn’t lay off the high pitches. But his next three were a lot better. He walked in the bottom of the 2nd. In the bottom of the 3rd inning he hit a single for 2 RBI’s. Finally walked in the 5th.
He got the second half of a 6-6-4 double play at the top of the 4th inning with Christopher at short catching a pop fly.
It was good to see former Padres/Dodgers teammate Benji catching. He was taking the job of catcher seriously and threw that helmet off at every chance. He also pitched an inning. Great job Benji!
Our next game is Wednesday at 5:00 pm on Lynndale Field 2 against Christian’s friend Gabe’s team TE Briggs. See you there!
Final Score: Point B 5 – Coldwell 14
