The mighty Arden Hills Phillies mounted a strong late innings rally, overcoming a 9-4 deficit to defeat a scrappy Astros team 13-11 last night at Hillview Park in Mounds View. Phillie hitters were on fire, banging out a home run and two triples over the course of the game. My favorite Phillie had a rough outing, arriving late (more on that in a moment) and going 0-3. Still, a fine win for the crew, bringing their overall record back to .500 at 5-5-2. The next game, a rematch against the Mariners, is tentatively set for Tuesday, with a location TBD.
An aside: you have to be flexible in this life. That was our lesson last night as we didn’t receive a late breaking e-mail indicating a field change until after we’d gone to the wrong park. Thus, we were almost an hour late for the game. Turns out the Astros coaching staff disliked the scheduled field and moved the game, but we didn’t get word until late. Oh, well.
