But, our boys quickly steadied the ship, keeping the Dodgers scoreless over the next two innings. The 3rd inning was the turning point! Bryce Harper got us on the board with a single, bringing home Rafael Marchan. Then, thanks to a wild pitch, Kyle Schwarber scored, and before we knew it, Nick Castellanos launched a majestic grand slam! A 389-footer to left field had the stadium rocking as we went up 6-2!
Resiliency is Key! 
The Dodgers, not ones to back down, fought back over the 5th and 7th innings, eventually taking back a narrow lead at 7-6. But our Phillies kept their heads in the game and the fans cheering.Bryson Stott and Edmundo Sosa played crucial roles in the bottom of the 7th.

Locking It Down for the Victory!
