Friday Night, March 14
George M. Steinbrenner Field - Tampa, FL
Record - 8-10-1
One Sentence Summary: In the only night game of the spring for the Phillies, a late rally fell short as Guillo Zuniga couldn't convert the save opportunity, allowing the Yankees to post a 6-5 walk-off win.
What It Means: I was enjoying an evening of sorting baseball cards and listening to his game on the radio when we lost electricity for about an hour. When the power went out, the Phillies were mounting a comeback and when it came back on, the game was over and they had lost.
What Happened: Trailing 2-1 heading to the seventh inning, Christian Arroyo singled with one out and Cal Stevenson hit his first home run of the spring to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead. Stevenson had made an incredible throw from right field in the second inning to gun down Trent Grisham trying to stretch a double. Also flashing the leather in this game was first baseman Kyle Schwarber, looking better than expected at his relatively new position.

The Phillies scored two more runs in the eighth on an RBI single from Garrett Stubbs, combined with a costly error from right fielder Jackson Castillo. But Zuniga couldn't hold off the Yankees in the ninth, giving up a walk and a home run to tie the game, and eventually a walk-off single to Brendan Jones to win the game.

Spring Breakout Game
Friday Afternoon, March 14
BayCare Ballpark - Clearwater, FL
Featured Card: In the afternoon, the Phillies and Pirates sent their top prospects to play in the second annual Spring Breakout Game. I enjoyed watching the game in the background on Friday during my work day, and Cole Hamels, a new addition to the broadcast booth, was actually enjoyable to listen to? Justin Crawford led off and had a pair of hits, including a triple. Carson DeMartini, who I don't know much about, had an impressive home run in the seventh inning.
