It was a great night for NBC Sports Philadelphia, led by play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy, who offered a terrific call during the final out.
Michael Lorenzen’s wife, Cassi, summed it up best Wednesday night after the new Phillies pitcherand just his second start with the team.
“There was so much going on in this game,” McCarthy said following the game, “It wasn’t until the end of the fifth inning that it dawned on me that he had only walked guys and hadn’t allowed a hit.” The action started in the first inning, when Nick Castellanos blasted his 18th home run of the season, giving the Phillies an early 3-0 lead. NBC Sports Philadelphia’s cameras captured some great moments during Castellanos’ trot around the bases, including Brandon Marsh’s jubilant reaction and a celebration by Castellanos’“Liam loves it,” McCarthy noted after the homer. That would become a trend of the evening, as Liam celebrated with just about everyone in the stands as the night went on.
The homer wasn’t Weston’s only contribution of the night. He had a nice catch in foul territory in the first inning and notched his first stolen base during the fourth inning, eventually scoring.“It is very special and what we continue to talk about is it’s all about the journey, not the destination,” Bill told NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Taryn Hatcher during the game. “He’s just an incredible young man.
“You only get one chance to hit a homer on your first swing in the big leagues,” Franzke said before Wilson hit a home run on his second swing in the big leagues.In addition to everything happening on the field, McCarthy and Kruk had a notable guest in the booth — former MVP and Colbie’s Southern Kissed Chicken co-owner Ryan Howard, who happened to catch a great game while promoting their new chicken and waffle sandwich at the ballpark.
