This is May : Since the calendar turned the May, the Fightin Phils have produced at a much more consistent clip. After going just 5-16 in April, Reading has posted a 5-5 record through the first 10 games of the month. So far in May, the Fightin Phils are hitting .229, which compares to a .219 clip in April. Much of the May successcan be accreddited to a more consistent effort from the Fightin Phils bullpen. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster
