Phils Top 10 #4
Spring Training Game 17
Tuesday Afternoon, March 11
JetBlue Park - Fort Myers, FL
Record - 7-9-1

One Sentence Summary:  A line-up of non-veteran starters with some reserves and Triple-A depth clubbed 13 hits and scored 18 runs against the Red sox in this 18-8 romp.

What It Means:  The Phillies concluded their mini road trip to Fort Myers going 2-0 against the Twins and Red Sox, and with signs of life from the offense.

What Happened:  The hits were equally dispersed throughout the line-up with Bryson Stott and Johan Rojas having multi-hit games.  The big hits came from Buddy Kennedy and Otto Kemp.  Kennedy, who has played all over the diamond this spring, hit a two-run home in the second.  Kemp added a two-run triple in the sixth.  Catcher Josh Breaux hit a monster solo home run to left in the ninth.

Pitching prospect Mick Abel got the start and didn't fare well.  He allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits in 1 2/3 innings.

Featured Card:  Better things will come for Abel, but for now he'll start his season with the IronPigs.

Camp Head Count:  53 - 5 = 48

Abel (rhp) was optioned to Triple-A following the game.  Paul McIntosh (c), Kemp (inf), Matt Kroon (of) and Gabriel Rincones, Jr. (of) were all reassigned to minor league camp.
