Brandon Phillips of BDD Ties DBA Single-Game Strikeout Record!

On April 5th, 2008, Brandon Phillips of BDD became the 25th player in DBA history to strike out 5 times in a game. Phillips completed the feat at Lebanon, in 6 at-bats.

With Nate Robertston on the mound in the first, the first three Bombers went down via the strikeout, including Phillips on 3 pitches (roll 1-8). The Lugnut starter struck out two in the 3rd, including Phillips again on 4 pitches (roll 1-9). In the 5th, Phillips struck out for the third time, seeing just 3 pitches (roll 6-6). In the 8th, facing Joe Nathan, Phillips looked at 5 pitches (roll 6-6) before K'ing the fourth time. And in the 10th inning, Phillips struck out for the 5th and final time, 3 pitches (roll 1-9 again) against Joe Beimel.

The Bombers went on to lose the game in 12 innings by a score of 3-2.
