Spring Training Game 9 - Saturday Afternoon, March 4th in Clearwater
Record - 5-3-1
One Sentence Summary: Alec Bohm's two-run home run was the difference in this 4-3 win over the Pirates.
What It Means: Saturdays in early March are working days for me given my chosen profession, but it's nice to at least have the game on TV in the background as I toil away.
What Happened: With the Pirates leading 2-0, Jhailyn Ortiz led off the third with a single and came around to score on a Kyle Schwarber single. Bohm then hit his home run, giving the Phillies a 3-2 lead. Edmundo Sosa singled, went to second when Darick Hall walked, stole third, and came home on a Scott Kingery sacrifice fly. Sosa was seeing his first action in center field, as the team looks for a good back-up for Brandon Marsh. On the mound for the Phillies, Aaron Nola threw three innings, allowing two runs (one earned) and striking out two. Mark Appel looked good in the ninth and picked up the save.
Featured Card: Apparently Bohm showed up to camp a few weeks ago sporting some added muscle, and the hope is that he builds off his second half success from last year. This is his 1973 Topps inspired card from the Heritage High Numbers set, not released until December. I had decided to use this card for this post before realizing it featured Bohm batting against the Pirates, so that's a nice coincidence. I'm looking forward to seeing the 1974 Topps design in the 2023 Topps Heritage set.
