LAST TIME OUT: The Reading Fightin Phils shutout the Senators 2-0 Sunday afternoon at FNB Field. Reading plated two runs in the third inning and that's all they would need. Four Reading pitchers limited the Senators to two hits, one in the first inning and one in the second inning and combined to retire 22 of the final 23 Harrisburg batters. After Reading scored, the Senators brought the tying run to the plate just two times and they came after a one-out walk in the seventh inning drawn by Terone Harris III. Reading took the series by winning four games and Reading won the season series.
