Neon			Flyers
Mateo hit a sac fly to get Suarez home in the top of the second to begin the scoring. Flyers answered with back to back solo homers from Riley and DJ Stewart. Next inning Marte hit a solo. In the fourth Tyrone Taylor hit a 2-run homer to put the Flyers up 5-1. In the top of the fifth with two out and Freeman on second Grichuk singled, Gimenez booted a ball, and Frasier doubled, and just like that it was 5-4. Suzuki went deep to tie the game in the top of the seventh. Meanwhile Neon starter Grienke went 5 innings and gave up 7 hits including four homers, but the bullpen gave up nothing. In the 8th Mateo led off with a single and steal and Rodriguez went deep to break the tie and ultimately win the game for the Neon. Adam pitched the 9th for the save.

Neon			Flyers
Zach Davies started for the Neon, and unlike Grienke in game one, kept the Flyers in the yard. He did give up 13 hits, but 11 of them were singles. The Flyers did start fast, with five of those hits, including a double, plus a walk happening in the first and turning a quick 3-0 hole into a 4-3 Flyers lead. Unfortunately, Freeland could not keep the Neon in the yard. Freeman got him for a 2-run homer in the second inning, after Mateo had already doubled home a run to tie it, and leading by 6-4, the Neon never looked back. Suarez added a 2-run homer in the fourth inning as the Neon added another 3 runs. The Flyers got their last run when Ketel Marte tripled home Gimenez, but it was much too little, and much too late.

Game 3

Neon			Flyers
Wheels wasn't that sharp, he gave up a Charlie Blackmon home run in the first inning, and a Frazier sac fly in the second. Through five innings the score remained 2-0. Gonzalez began the 6th inning but gave up three straight singles to Nootbaar, Arraez, and Marte, breaking the shutout. Seth Lugo relieved him, and after Riley hit a sac fly to plate Arraez, Stewart doubled to score Marte. The Neon tied it right back up in the 7th when Frazier led off with a double, moved to third on Mateo's grounder and scored on Rodriguez' infield out. All tied 3-3. Dillon Tate relieved Lugo to begin the 7th, and after one out Gimenez singled, Nootbaar singled, Arraez singled to load the bases, then Marte singled to score Gimenez and Nootbaar. The Neon came back again in the 9th, Grichuk doubled, with one out Frazier doubled him home, but Wheeler completed the game by retiring the last two batters with the tying run on third (Frazier stole third as the tying run- interesting). Flyers avoid the sweep with a comeback win.
