Red-Hot Fightin Phils Win Again
FirstEnergy Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Hartford Yard Goats and Reading Fightin Phils.

The Reading Fightin Phils claimed a close win over the Hartford Yard Goats, due in large part to Dan Sutton. The Reading right-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-1 win. In 6.1 innings, Sutton surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Fightin Phils had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fourth, when left fielder Steve DeMarco hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Rich Diaz and made the score 1-0, Fightin Phils. DeMarco went 1 for 3.

Sutton called the win a testament to his team's "grit."

With the win, Reading has a record of 71-55. Hartford falls to 59-67.
