Great game last night! The Phantoms had outstanding pitching by Chris, Christian & Jordan and our offense was relentless. We managed 10 hits and 17 walks and held Windermere to just 7 hits and 2 walks. What a turn around from Saturday’s game where we had a league high of 150 pitches in a game to the league low of 88 pitches.
I made a few minor changes to the batting order based on our previous game. The experiment worked! The Phantoms have a potent offense that will scare opposing teams. We had 2 triples from Reilly & Ryan, a 2 RBI double by Chris and 7 singles from Chris, Jordan, Benji, Caesar, Reilly, Jack & Ryan.
Defensively we got 15 outs and took better care of the ball. Reilly leads the team with 4 put-outs. I’m eagerly waiting for the Chris & Christian double play combo. Although we may not see it until we build up the rest our pitching staff since both are pitching a lot right now.
Christian was the MVP of the game. He pitched lights out not allowing a hit, walk or run and got 2 strike outs.
Our next game is this Friday against Bennett & Bennett on Lynndale Field 1 at 7:00 pm. If you are not able to make to the game, you can watch via web-cam at http://www.pacificlittleleague.com. Go Phantoms!
Final Score: Windermere 4 – Echelbarger 18
