I just realized that I haven’t updated the baseball blog in a long time. These will be short as I usually post what I remember along with the score book.
This game was to be another 1st of back to back games. The Phantoms had shown that they were a team to beat in the last couple of games. In this game, they had started well into the top of the 3rd inning. But they had trouble getting the last out of at the bottom of the 3rd.
They were without big guns Chris & Drew and only fielded 8 players. The borrowed outfielder from Distinctive Glass also cost us a run or two. But the game was done by the bottom of the 4th. We had too big of a hole to fill.
This was Christian’s first game to lead off. He struck out in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd and walked in the 4th and 6th. He didn’t do much on the field either.
It was a tough loss for the Phantoms. They had been playing at a high level and just couldn’t put a string of hits together for this game. That and the inconsistent pitching after the 4th inning was our downfall.
Final Score: Phantoms 6 – Distinctive Glass 14
