Things were looking up for the Rays at the beginning of
tonight's game, as they jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Unfortunately that is where the good news ended, however, as the Phillies scored
the next 12 runs to mercy the Rays after 4 innings. Sam struggled at the plate
once again, but did score a run after walking in the first inning. She played
well in the field to help make up for it though, as she nearly threw a runner
out at home and later threw a runner out at first. All in all, a fairly well
played game by both teams despite the mercy rule. I can definitely see progress
in the kids who care about playing the game.
