The Phantoms showed a lot of heart in this game against Pacific Trust. The over the top manager of the other team made game not very fun to watch. His antics coaching 3rd base and calling time out for inspection of the game ball were just atrocious. I understand being competitive, but trying to steal home from 3rd on every pitch was getting old. Also having their pitcher throw the ball as soon as the batter stepped in the box was just awful.
Christian was back to hitting 2nd and managed to get walked in the 1st and 5th innings. He struck out at his 2nd at bat. He needs to be more aggressive at the plate and not rely on walks…BTW he leads the team on base on balls. But he’s been striking out a lot looking.
He didn’t do much on defense today. He really didn’t need to as our pitchers got 13 strike outs and the team combined for 5 put outs.
Despite Pacific Trust trying every dirty trick in the book. The Phantoms were victorious by playing the game their way.
Final Score: Pacific Trust 4 – Coldwell 10
