All in all, it was a good weekend in Philly Sports. The Phillies took 2 out of 3 from Arizona, one coming from a walk-off single by Jason “For All That It’s” Werth on Friday night, and the other coming off of back-to-back home runs by Pat Burrell (3 runs) and Pedro Feliz (1 run) on Sunday. On Saturday, Phillies starter Adam Eaton had a rough outing going for 3.2 innings, and letting up 8 runs on 7 hits.
Despite the Phil’s loss, Saturday still proved to be a good day in Philly. The 1st-seeded Soul defeated the Cleveland Gladiators 70-35 to advance to ArenaBowl 22. One memorable play came in the 3rd quarter, when Mike brown of the Soul was returning a kickoff. Cleveland’s kicker Jason Ball dove to stop Mike Brown, but he hurdled over him and scored a touchdown. This is the first time the Soul won the division, the conference, and hopefully, the ArenaBowl.
