Grandal Slugs Phalanx to 6-4 Win
Thanks in large part to catcher Yasmani Grandal, the Philadelphia Phalanx beat the Georgia Bulldogs, 6-4. Grandal slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The win was credited to Colin Poche in relief. His record improves to 3-4. Hayden Wesneski took the loss. Kevin Ginkel got the save, his 23rd in 29 chances.

Grandal had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 2-1 changeup from Jorge Lopez, he banged a 2-run home run to center, giving the Phalanx a 6-4 lead. It was the 14th home run of the year for Grandal.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Grandal. "I think we're going to keep proving that."

The slumping Bulldogs have dropped 7 in a row.
