On a day when runs were in short supply, a first-inning error opened the door—and Rake Collegiate walked right through it.
The big blow came courtesy of Anthony Jakeman, who doubled in a pair of runs in that first inning. It was his only hit of the game, but it proved to be the difference.
Starter Jorden Sesar did his part, tossing three innings of one-run ball while striking out seven. Logan Woodward followed him out of the bullpen and kept the Mummers at bay.
Philly’s Isaac Galarza deserved a better fate. The righty was sharp, giving up just three unearned runs over four innings while striking out seven without issuing a walk.
Rake’s offense was opportunistic—six players notched a hit, and they swiped five bases as a team, with Robert Del Buono and Trevor Harris each swiping two.
Philly scratched across a pair of runs behind RBI efforts from Dylan Hirsh and Dylan Pope. Hirsh also collected a hit, along with Owen Pinkerton, but the Mummers couldn’t find that one extra hit they needed late.
Next up for Rake Collegiate is a Thursday tilt with the Philly Fightin Quakers.
Capitalizing on the miscue, Rake pushed across three unearned runs in the opening frame and held on the rest of the way to edge the Philly Mummers, 3–2, on Wednesday.

It took three innings for the Philly Bandits to break through. But once they did, it was Patrick White who opened the door—and the pitching staff who kept it slammed shut.
White drove in a pair of runs with a third-inning single, and the Bandits never looked back in a 5-0 shutout of ASBA Futures on Wednesday evening in West Chester.
White finished with three RBIs on the day despite going just 1-for-3, while leadoff man Tahir Parker reached base twice and collected a pair of hits to spark the Bandits' offense.
On the mound, Sean Heissler set the tone early. The right-hander spun four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while striking out two. Edward Dingle took the baton and ran with it, closing out the game with two hitless frames and four punchouts.
ASBA Futures managed just four baserunners all afternoon, with Jaydan Duncan doing his best to keep them alive by going 2-for-2. But starter Andrew Unrath took the loss despite a solid three-inning effort—allowing two runs on four hits while striking out three.
