a sweet night home and away


I like the design of this t-shirt, as well as its soft faded look.

It was a wonderfully mellow night at the ballpark in Allentown last night. The IronPigs, just off a 7-1 road trip, beat the Indianapolis Indians 6-3, aided by some key errors. In fact, errors featured in much of the scoring by both teams.

Early in the game there was a video update from Tampa, where John Mayberry Jr. had just hit a three-run homer to put the Phillies up 6-0 in the top of the 1st. Yes, they're back on the road. Another update followed in the 4th, when Chase Utley's two-run homer made it 10-0. The Phils' game ended a tick after the 'Pigs' game, which made for a good post-game ride home. The Rays' David Price was ineffective, while Jamie Moyer pitched well through six. The Phillies are now 24-9 on the road.
