R-Phils clinch it!!

The Reading Phillies will join the BlueClaws in the playoffs this year, winning over the Connecticut Defenders, 6-0 Saturday behind strong pitching from Mike Cisco (6 IP, 5 hits, NO walks), Scott Mathieson (2 IP 2 hits, 4 Ks) and Mike Zagurski (1-2-3 9th). Hitless through the first 5 frames, Reading exploded for 6 runs in the 7th. Freddy Galvis had a 2-RBI single, Steve Susdorf an RBI hit and Domonic Brown a 2-RBI double to highlight the rally.

Antonio Bastardo has been activated and added to Reading's roster for the playoffs, and Brad Harman and Tim Kennelly have been placed on the temporary inactive list for the purpose of representing Australia in the upcoming Baseball Wold Cup.

Reading will open the playoffs Wednesday night in Akron.
