sneaky Reading Phillies

Don't look now, but the Reading Phillies have won 4 in a row and, at 7-3, are just a game behind Akron in the Eastern League Southern Division. Mike Spidale has played a little more this week, giving struggling Quinin Berry some time off, and Spidale has come through. He has 5 for 10, and driven in a run in limited time. Neil Sellers (.351) and Kevin Mahar (.385) have led the Reading assualt.

Vance Worley (1-0, 2.53) and Michael Stutes (2-0, 2.45) continue to reward the Phillies faith in them, so far making a smooth transition into the Eastern League. Matt German has yet to allow a run, and Sergio Escalona (3) and Antonio Bastardo(2) have all of the team's saves. Tuffy Gosewisch (.280)has been steady all along, so if they can get Michael Taylor (.258), Brad Harman (.209), and Quintin Berry (.226) into a regular groove, then watching this team is going to be a lot of fun!!
