Keystones Prevail, 9-8, Over Boston | The 9-8 Philadelphia win over Boston was due in large part to Marshall Thomas. The Keystones second baseman went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Philadelphia reliever Jim Teal was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Dee Britton took the loss. For the Minutemen, the loss makes their record 5-11.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Tom Cooprider? The five-time All-Star Cooprider stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Philadelphia up, 9-8. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.
"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Thomas told the Philadelphia Observer. | |
