Jackhammer continues to be an all around utility player and Muff also displayed a good glove at 3rd. Joserz kept the Yankees guessing earning 6 strikeouts in a well pitched game. The most exciting play though was a catch by Yankees third baseman Shante in the 1st inning who made an exceptional diving catch on a foul ball hit by Wickert, but the ump ruled it had hit the ground. Exceptional effort and also a great arm. HOO RAH....GO PHILLIES!!! 6/5/04: Playing their first game in 12 days, the Phillies continued their winning streak with an error free game defensively against the Giants. Good defense was needed since the Giants batters had no strikeouts, but the Phillies were tough holding them to 3 batters each of the first two innings and no more than 5 each inning after. Offensively Wickert kept left field busy with 4 hits on the left side, one a double. Bob was also 4 for 4 capitalizing on a dropped ball resulting in the games solo home run.

Very Ape also contributed with solid hits to left field in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd innings. On defense the Phillies shined allowing only 7 batters in the first 2 innings. The Reds threatened in the 3rd but a smart double play by Muff and Duckie followed by a stikeout by Jackhammer ended the inning with no runs scored.

Another ALL TEAM EFFORT!!!! 5/12/04: Tiff and Very Ape continued to support the Phillies success in a game marked by rain with both girls hitting grand slam home runs. The Phillies defense held the Pirates to one run after a good hit to center field led them off with a double. The infield buckled down getting the next batters out at 1st. Squirt also made contact getting to first on an infield hit. The Phillies galloped around the bases scoring 26 runs in a game which only had a couple brief respites from the rain. But the girls kept their focus and kept their streak alive. 5/11/04: The Phillies continued their streak with Wickert hitting a home run, a triple, and a single. Tiff also hit back-to-back home runs with the last one ending the game. Joserz pitched a great game with 8 strikeouts. Adrianna also batted strong with a nice hit to left field resulting in a double.

Great job girls!!!! 5/8/04: The Phillies continued to roll with Wickert, Bob, Joserz and Duckie getting on base 4 times each. Wickert & Bob each scored 4 runs and Joserz hitting a deep ball that resulted in a grand slam when a thrown ball rolled out of play and she also made 7 RBI's. Jackhammer relieved Joserz on the mound closing the game out with good pitching in spite of a windy day. Another GREAT team effort. 5/7/04: The Philles started the season against the Reds with heavy bats and hot fielding with Very Ape, Monkey & Jackhammer each scoring 4 runs. Bob had a grand slam home run taken away due to a base running error called on another runner. The pitching was right on the mark and the defense was superb.
