September 2, 200619 yr Heath Phillips got his second victory in Olympic Qualifying tonight with 7 innings of 1-run ball against the Dominican Republic. He may get the call to pitch in the final game of qualifying against Cuba on just three days rest. He's pitched 13 innings, allowing 8 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts. Plus 5 innings of shutout ball in a "friendly" with Puerto Rico. I suppose he is eligible to go back to Charlotte and pitch, maybe he'd be rested enough to start game 4 or 5 of the Knights playoff series. He just keeps winning everywhere he pitches this season. With the 2 wins in Cuba, 1 in the AAA All-Star game, and 1 in the Florida friendlies to add to his 14 with the Knights, he might lead all of baseball in victories.
September 2, 200619 yr he is having a pretty damn good season... but still ive only heard that he wont be able to make it in the bigs... besides his great pickoff move.
