Fightin Phils Edge Senators, 5-4
The Reading Fightin Phils withstood an impressive performance by Harrisburg left fielder Jaylen Palmer to defeat the Senators, 5-4, at Metro Bank Park. Palmer was 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Picking up the win was Willie Howard. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 4 and walked 1. Reading bumps their record to 64-50 with the win.

Reading used the timely hitting of Andrew Ebbs to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Fightin Phils ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Ebbs.
