The Rookie Phillies wrapped up their season as champions!! In a double-elimination tournament, the Phillies went undefeated to take home the title in a heated battle against the mighty Padres. The score was 16-15 Padres going into the bottom of the sixth and final inning but the Phillies managed to squeak out a victory with the bottom of their batting lineup. We were so proud and so excited for the boys!
Ben's comments after the game included "ummm, not my best game...but we still won!" Indeed! Ben definitely did not play his best game but he batted well and had a few good plays in the field...enough to help his team bring home the victory and secure himself a spot on the Rookie All Stars! He is unbelieably proud. Last summer he saw the all stars practicing and established a goal of being on the all stars himself this year and he did it! Way to go, Benny!
