Our pitchers were in command today! Andre Pallante set the tone beautifully from the start, and his efforts were complimented superbly by Phil Maton and Ryan Helsley.

At the epicenter of our win today was Yohel Pozo who had a pivotal role in getting the board ticking. His key double in the bottom of the 5th brought in Thomas Saggese to break the stalemate. Pozo’s awareness and quick thinking on the bases kept the pressure on the Phillies, leading to yet another run in the same inning when Alec Burleson walked with the bases loaded. What an effort by these guys!Speed & Steals 
Speedster Lars Nootbaar was electric on the bases today, walking twice and exemplifying his base-stealing prowess with some smart running that pressured the Phillies' defense. It’s fantastic to see him utilizing his speed to rattle the opposition. Also, kudos to Brendan Donovan with a sneaky steal, adding more fuel to our offensive tactics.Shoutout to Cardinal Defense
