The Reading Phillies went into Erie Monday on a roll and have been stomped down by the Sea Wolves. On Monday, Mike Stutes absorbed his first defeat of the year, falling to the Wolves, 3-2. Mike went 6 innings, allowing all 3 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks, but could not get the offensive support. Mike Taylor had 3 walks and a home run, and Neil Sellers had 3 hits for Reading. Quintin Berry drove in Sellers in the 9th, to cut the lead to 1, but Reading fell short. Gus Milner, Tuffy Gosewisch and Mike Spidale also had hits.
On Tuesday, Reading managed just 5 hits, wasting a prime effort from Antonio Bastardo, who threw 6 innings of 1-hit ball, walking 2 and striking out 10. Both Reading runs scored on Taylor's second home run in 2 nights (#5 on the season) as Erie won again, 5-2. Brad Harman had 2 hits for the R-Phils and scored on Taylor's blast. Mike Zagurski suffered the loss, allowing the first 2 runs of his comeback so far.
On Wednesday, Erie completed the sweep, beating Tyson Brummett by a final score of 8-5. Tyson made it through just 4 innings, giving up 7 runs, 6 earned, on 8 hits and a walk, striking out 5 to fall to 1-4, 3.89 on the year. Berry was 3 for 5, scoring a run and driving one in, and has his average up to .260, while Harman (.244, single, double) and Taylor (.306, single, double) each had a run scored and an RBI.
Reading returns to Baseballtown to take on Harrisburg Thursday night.
