The Echelbarger Phantoms are playing like a great baseball team and won convincingly tonight. We’re getting good pitching, great fielding and showing patience at the plate. We are now 6 and 2 for the season!<\/p>\n
The Green Machine offense is back! We had 11 hits, 11 walks and 15 runs scored. Ryan had a nice triple in the 3rd and Christian had big RBI double in the 4th. We also had contributions from Jordan, Benji, Sean, Alex R, Jack, Ian and Alex B! <\/p>\n
We are getting much better as a team in fielding. Jordan had the first play in the game with a line drive catch at shortstop. Alex, Reilly & Benji had a 5-3-2 combo to get the runner at home and Christian had a diving catch at second. All this in the 1st inning! Christian got a 6-4 with Ryan to get the 1st out of the 5th. <\/p>\n
Jack started us off pitching tonight facing 5 batters with 8 strikes, 2 hits, 1 walk and 1 earned run. Jordan pitched 2.2 innings facing 16 batters, 37 strikes, 7 strikeouts, 3 hits, 5 walks and 4 earned runs. Alex B relieved Jordan in the 4th facing 4 batters, 3 hits, 1 walk and 2 earned runs. <\/p>\n
The MVP of the game was Sean who pitched the 5th facing 5 batters with 12 strikes, 2 strikeouts, 1 hit, 1 walk and 0 earned runs. He batted 2 singles, 1 walk and 2 runs scored. In the 2nd he caught a line drive at shortstop and got a 7-6 tag with Benji to end the top of the 4th.<\/p>\n
The other teams in the league are starting to take notice in our team. I am confident that we can win any game, the kids play with a lot of heart and are focused on defense. <\/p>\n
Saturday is Little League Day, the Phantoms will have team photos, go through Slugfest & games, participate in the parade and the coaches will try to hit home runs.<\/p>\n
Our next game is this Friday evening 4\/23 against Distinctive Glass at Lynndale Field 2 at 7:00 pm. See you there. Go Phantoms!<\/p>\n
