Game 124- Sunday Night, August 20th in Williamsport
Record - 67-57, 2nd Place, 13 1/2 games behind the Braves
Second Summer Sabbatical Game Recap Catch-Up Post 1 of 10
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies offense was quiet for eight innings against Trevor Williams and two Nationals relievers, as they dropped this year's Little League Classic in Williamsport by a 4-3 score.
What It Means: For the sake of completeness, and because I still enjoy recapping these games, even the brutal losses, I'm going to spend part of this holiday weekend catching up on game summary posts I missed while we were enjoying our wonderful week in Walt Disney World.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler gave up four first inning runs, but then settled down to keep the Nationals from scoring again over his next six innings of work. The Phillies offense managed three hits in the game's first eight innings. In the ninth, Brandon Marsh singled home Bryson Stott and Jake Cave hit a two-run home run, his fifth of the season. But it was too little, too late as the Nationals held on to win.
Featured Card: Like they did in 2018, when the Phillies faced off against the Mets in the Little League Classic, Topps produced a Topps Now card to commemorate the game. This is actually one of two cards produced, showing the No. 2 pencil bat and blue crayon bat used by Stott and Joey Meneses in the game. The other Topps Now card features the post-game handshake line, long a staple of Little League games.
Transaction: The Phillies and Nationals were permitted to add a 27th player to their rosters for this game, with the Phillies activated Marsh (of) from the 10-day Injured List.
