So, what to do on Day Two in Phili when you've pretty much seen all the major sites? Go to a Phillies game! Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, Kyle Kendrick, is a Mount Vernon boy so we went to a game to root him and his team on.
Alex thought Kyle would be pitching that day, but it turned out old Mariner's pitcher Jamie Moyer was pitching. After a really bad first inning the Phillies were down 0-6.
But after am awesome 6th inning the Phillies were up by 1. At the bottom of the 9th the Nationals had tied the Phillies at 7-7.
It was cold, and we didn't have blankets and Nicole was getting bored. So we left the game at the end of the 9th, got a jump on the traffic and listened to the rest of the game on the radio. The Phillies won 8-7 in the 10th. We like to say it was our presence at the game that got the Phillies their first win of the season. We didn't get to see Kyle pitch, but it was still a good day for a ball game.
The Phillies mascot, "Phanatic". He was quite entertaining.
