Web gem of game goes to Landon Phillips who made a game ending catch of a line drive to second base. Special thanks to our call up Jake G.

The game turned on a bases-loaded, two-out play by first baseman Eric Madenberg, who backhanded a grounder headed for the hole and beat the runner to the bag. That fueled a big inning, including Chris Bruccoleri with a two-RBI hit and Charlie Goodwin with a shot down the third base line. The bats stayed hot the next inning with Paul Fadoul drawing an RBI base-on-balls. Sean O’Connor singled up the middle, then stole second and third before scoring on Ivan Vidaich’s clutch hit.
