Fightin Phils Rally For 4-2 Win
Starting pitcher Phil Crosswhite was a major factor in the 4-2 Reading Fightin Phils triumph over the Altoona Curve. Reading reliever Jeremy Duffy was the winner. His record is now 7-2. Angel Moreno took the loss. The victory gives Reading a record of 65-64.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Matt Grondin came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Altoona pitcher Angel Moreno, he hit a 1-2 splitter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Reading on top, 4-2.

Crosswhite said afterward that he was glad to help his team win.
