Zach has had three baseball games since the last posting, however I don't have lots of details since I missed some of them because Brianna had practice, or it was a late game on a school night, etc.
The Phillies played against the Devil Rays on May 20th. Zach pitched the first 6 innings of this game and did a really awesome job! The Devil Rays weren't able to get any runs in during this time, and the Phillies were up by 4-0. By the 7th inning, Zach was close to his "pitching quota", so they took him out and put him at 1st base and put another pitcher in. The Phillies went through two different pitchers in this inning because the Devil Rays were hitting off of them and the players in the outfield were making lots of errors. It was a very nerve-racking inning, but the Phillies were able to pull it off and they won 4-3!
Since this was a double-header night, the next game was immediately after. The Phillies played the Orioles. Zach played 1st base and center field for this game. I had to leave to go home and put Brianna to bed since it was a school night, but the Phillies won this game 7-1!
On Thursday, May 22nd, the Phillies had a rain make-up game from the beginning of the season. They played the Royals. The coaches let the younger kids start the game and play most of it, while the older kids just played the required two innings. It was a nice break for some of them and they didn't need to worry... the Phillies won this game also, 19-5!
After these three games, the Phillies' record stands at 8-1 for this season! Way to go!!!
