DC Boys Show-Defense

~~~




Game 2 of the Philly series. Cole Hamel pitching. He's hard to hit, but DC scuffed him up with six. Nonetheless, only Zimmerman made it home. Meanwhile, Philly marked up Tim Redding fairly well, despite a very respectable outing. Redding got all the way into the first pitcher of the eighth inning. The stats say he allowed only one hit, but that stat belongs to great hands and speed around the horn and a special shout-out to Kearns who let nothing go past him.

In game 1, Philly could not prevent the big inning in the 5th. Nor could they hold back the other big inning in the 9th. Tonight, they held 5 out of 6 hits in check. They might have held the 6th hit too, except the guy in the stands took too long to throw Z's ball back in and the ump noticed.

What we got here, kiddies, is a team with bona fides and depth. This is going to be a fun ride.
