May 16   Minor Phillies 12    Pirates 4

The Phillies and Pirates laced them up on a beautiful Saturday morning. The Pirates sent Tommy Callanan to the hill and he pitched two plus great innings. The Phillies plated 4 in the top of the first with hits from Jared Crowell (multiple hit game), Cory Bright (multiple hit game), Ryan Clancy and Sean Prendergrast (multiple hit game). The Philles sent Crowell to the bump and the Pirates plated one after an Avery Davis walk and Gavin Prodgers base hit. The Pirate defense was great with Alex D'Andrea, Nate Shu, Ben Pierce, Noah Cheema, Joe Paratore, Simon Ringham, Danny Broderick and Jordan Kelley behind the dish. The Phillies plated 8 runs over the last three innings to break the game open with hits from Daniel Cunningham and Luke Van Veen. The Pirates had solid relief pitching from Davis and Steven Holmberg. The Phillies defense was anchored by Saoirse Connolly, Mike Polcari, Darwin Anderson and Garrett Fogarty. The Phillies relief corp of Prendergrast and Bright  were lights out ending the game 12-4 Phillies.
