Daily News | A ninth-inning rally fuels a 3-2 Phillies win over the Reds and revives a packed Citizens Bank Park
There were times, last season when it felt like the crowd was willing the Phillies to win.The Phillies looked lifeless for eight innings — and then came the ninth.
Ironically, it was Cristian Pache, who entered the game hitless and with a career .155 batting average, who knocked in one of those three hits. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Pache hit a sharp line drive to left field. It was the second hardest hit of the day, coming off his bat at 108.2 mph. Unfortunately for the Phillies, it came after a double play, and Kyle Schwarber struck out to end the inning.
After a Trea Turner strikeout, a passed ball moved Stott to third and Pache to second. In the next at-bat, Schwarber hit a grounder to third base, and Pache took off for third, reaching base just before Stott did. Pache was initially called safe, but upon review, was called out. If he had waited at second, and allowed Stott to score first, the run would have counted, and the game would have been tied at 1-1. Instead, it remained 1-0.
