The Baseball Trip 2025
Day 6 - Wednesday, July 23
Today will be busy. Our first stop is Delaware Park in Wilmington, DE.
I was down a few bucks until this guy won me $40.00.
After Delaware Park, we headed over to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia for a night game between the Phillies and the Boston Red Sox.
The Phillies jumped out to 5-0 lead by the 3rd inning on the strength of 4 home runs. Schwarber, Harper, Castellanos, and Realmuto all went deep. Unfortunately, the Phillies starter fell apart in the 5th, giving up a double and 4 straight walks. Romy Gonzalez then hit a grand slam for a 6-5 Boston lead.
Bryson Scott hit a home run in the bottom of the 8th, tying the game for the Phillies, and sending the game into extra innings.
Both teams scored in the 10th, but Carlos Narvaez hit a two-run blast in the top of the 11th to seal the deal. The Phillies scored once in the bottom of the inning, but it was not enough. The Red Sox win, 9-8.

Woman at the Phillies game sitting next to me: "I'm an old lady, but I'm a hardcore Phillies fan. I'm going to get loud! Where are you guys from? Who are you rooting for? Cubs? Sox? what the heck! Ok ...last question: What do you do for a living? Is it this loud at all the ballparks you visit? I'm a nurse. I should retire , too. OK...last Question: How long did you teach English?"
Tomorrow: A travel day, but a stop at Atlantic City.
