[LoneStarPhan]

Strong first 3 innings for Eflin. End of 3 innings, Phillies lead, 3-0.

el-pietro, I didn't see the police officer you asked about, but it is common for teams to have uniformed police officers step out onto the field and face the crowd during the period between innings. I've seen this in several ballparks. Usually one police officer and a few of the stadium security officers will stand along each of the first base and third base lines.
