Team,
The Braves were able to beat the flu and field a team to face the Phillies. However, the Phillies were able to erase a 4-0 deficit and hold on to beat the flu-weakened Braves 10-7. Behind the solid pitching of both Alec and Evan, the Braves held the Phillies to three scoreless innings. The Phillies did all their damage in two innings … scoring 4 runs in the second and 6 runs in the fourth. But the Braves did not give up and scored 3 runs in the final inning only to come up short.
The Braves are now tied for second with the Phillies at 8-3 trailing the Dodger at 10-0-1. Our next game is at 5pm on Saturday, June 20th vs. the Pirates who tied the powerful Dodgers this past Wednesday. The Pirates are a very good team and will come into our game with a lot of confidence. This should make for another exciting game so don’t miss it!
Lastly, I want share a compliment we received from one of the Phillies coaches following tonight’s game … he approached me unsolicited and said “you have a really nice team” and had nice things to say about every player. So, parents and players, keep up the good work. We’ll see you on Saturday.
Ross
