Spring Training Game 19 - Stott, Haley, Hall and Fergus Homer in Win

2023 Topps #209
Phillies 10
, Tigers 1
Spring Training Game 19 - Thursday Night, March 16th in Lakeland
Record - 9-9-1

One Sentence Summary:  With a line-up dominated by likely bench players or minor leaguers, the Phillies dominated the Tigers in this 10-1 win.

What It Means:  This is one of only three night games scheduled for the Phillies this spring, and I admittedly completely missed it.

What Happened:  Bryson Stott was the only regular to make the trip to Lakeland and he announced his presence with a lead-off home run.  He had three hits in the game.  Jim Haley and Darick Hall also homered, with Hall hitting his Grapefruit League leading fifth home run of the spring.  Minor leaguer Cade Fergus hit a ninth inning grand slam for the Phillies to put the game away.

On the mound, Zack Wheeler pitched a solid 4 1/3 innings, allowing a run while striking out five.

Featured Card:  I wish I had cards for Fergus or Haley, as I'd feature one of them here.  Instead, Hall gets the call and I'd be shocked at this point if he doesn't make the opening day roster as a bat off the bench.

Camp Head Count:  55
