Our ersatz team defeated the simPhillies 7-2 in a game that wasn’t really that close. The Professor (5-0) stayed busy stranding castaways on the islands and got the hook in the sixth having thrown somewhere around a hundred pitches and having surrendered a single run on a Bryce Harper cannonball in the top of the fifth.
By then, Willson Contreras (4) and Kris Bryant (4) had bombed the left-field seats. Steven Souza Jr, pinch-hitting, drove in a run with a single and Kyle Schwarber (5) made his own deposit into the left-field bleachers.
