Our #2 draft pick starting tonight in WMPT!!

[BostonRoss]

Reporting from Portland! An absolutely beautiful night for baseball. The Fightin' Phillies have a lot of players who sign autographs for kids.

Love Hadlock Field. Great place to see a game.

[BostonRoss]

Five innings down in an hour! Both pitchers with low pitch counts. 2-1 Portland. Reading run on a shattered bat bloop by Walding.

[bigegypt0417]

2 doubles for jhailyn Ortiz

average over 300

[bigegypt0417]

6 more shutout innings for jojo romero. 1 hit with 9 k's and 3 walks

[phillychuck]

Draft picks #2 Howard and #3 Seabold both pitched 2 innings for the 'Cutters tonight and both did well. Howard was wild and a bit inconsistent, but did strike out 4 in his 2 IP and yielded only 1 run. Seabold pitched two hitless innings striking out 3 and walking 1. WMPT leads 6-1 and Hasely has an 0-fer going (with a walk). Maton with 3 hits.

[LoneStarPhan]

DSL Red blows a 9-0 lead to lose to Yankee team, 12-9.

[BostonRoss]

Lefty Cole Irvin looked quite good. He isn't overpowering but mixes his pitches well and touched 93 even in the late innings. He went 8 innings. He had already thrown over 100 pitches when he gave up a two out single in the 8th. Mizerock came out to the mound, and I was a little surprised that he didn't remove Irvin, but the final batter was a lefty, and Cole got him.

This was in contrast to the Portland pitcher, who was quite effective but was removed after giving up a one out single in the 7th. The reliever threw eight straight balls to load the bases, and then erstwhile Rangers prospect Mike Olt, playing first base, threw away a grounder trying for a double play.

Not much offense in the game. I'd gotten used to seeing more from Reading (they had Kingery and Pullin when I saw them six weeks ago, and they had a powerhouse last year). But the game ended in about 2:10, and the weather was amazing. Driving home I was treated to a nice sunsets, and then it rained all the way through New Hampshire. Timing is everything.
