Phalanx Deal Diamonds 5-2 Loss
The Philadelphia Phalanx knocked off the Anaheim Diamonds, 5-2, in Federal League action at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Philadelphia pitcher and Chuluota, Florida, native Zach Eflin had an outstanding performance. Eflin got the win, improving to 1-1. He gave up 6 hits and walked 0 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Carmen Mlodzinski.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for J.C. Escarra? The Philadelphia third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Phalanx on top, 2-0. For the game, Escarra had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We came in and did what we needed to do," said Philadelphia manager Stephen Esterhazy.

Now 1-13, the 2026 Diamonds have been wretched so far.
