May 3 Minor Phillies 8 vs. Minor Mets 7
The Minor Phillies and Mets
squared off for the first time this year. The Mets sent Ace Liam Murphy to the
bump and he was outstanding allowing 4 runs in 4 plus innings of work. The
Phillies called on closer Connor Smith to start and he was great allowing one
run in 3 plus innings. Ryan Clancy and Darwin Anderson pitched well in relief
for the Phillies as did Sam Stallings for the Mets. The key hit of the game was
Daniel Cunningham's bases clearing triple in the fifth. Met's scored 6 runs in
the fifth and sixth with great hits from Murphy, Chris Schwarze and Kevin
Driscoll. The Phillies Jared Crowell crushed 3 hits, Cory Bright smoked two
extra base hits and 3 RBI, Connor Smith and Mike Polcari contributed two hits
each and Sean Prendergrast singled. The Mets defense was flawless with Nic
Shelton, Nick Carillo, Pedro Souza, Robert Call and Jacob Russett gunning out a
runner at the plate. The Phillies defense had Luke Van Veen, Saoirse Connolly,
Garrett Fogarty and Billy Muzarol making plays.
