| Keystones Defeat Gothams, 4-3 | The performance of Leon Stapleton proved critical in helping Philadelphia beat New York, 4-3, in 11 innings. The Keystones third baseman was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Philadelphia reliever Alvin Self was the winner. His record is now 1-0. George Libby took the loss. Bill Felder recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 1 for 1.
Philadelphia used the timely hitting of Chris Johnson to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Keystones on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
In postgame comments, Johnson said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
Philadelphia has now won 4 straight. | |
