After more than six weeks of spring practice it sure felt good to get the season started. The kids showed they were focused and ready to play. The Red Sox struck quickly in the first when Lilly drove in Jonah for the first run of the game. That duo would go on to torment the Phillies at the plate the rest of the game combining for 6 runs scored and 7 RBI, including a grand slam by Lilly. Owen got in on fun with two hits of his own. The two Isaiah's played a big part in our run production with Isaiah Longoria driving in two with a big single in the seventh and Isaiah Gallegos-Asik starting two big rallies by working the pitchers for two lead off walks. As good as the Sox were at the plate they were even better on the mound. Lilly showed why she was chosen to be the opening day starter with a dominant performance from the hill. In her three innings of work she only allowed one bloop single that fell just out of the reach of our shortstop and only got to a three ball count once. The next three pitchers kept up the pace that Lilly started as Jonah, Owen and Dalton finished off the next four frames with a 12 up 12 down showing. Add that all up and it totals just one base runner for the Phillies in seven innings and a 10-0 win for the Red Sox. Great game kids!
Next up; Friday May 15 vs. the Dodgers at Ball Park 3, 5:30. Please have the kids at the field at 4:30 for pregame BP.
