Baseball Recap: Beech Takes a Loss

Beech fell victim to Siegel and their airtight pitching crew on Monday. They lost 7-0 to the Stars. The contest marked the first time this year in which the Buccaneers were not able to get on the board.

Reece Hall was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero).

On the hitting side, Beech saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jackson Kennedy, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base.

Beech's defeat dropped their record down to 16-11. As for Siegel, they pushed their record up to 20-8 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.

Looking ahead, Beech will venture away from home to take on Hendersonville at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Commandos' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Buccaneers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Siegel, they will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Green Hill at 6:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Stars 3.8, the Hawks 2.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
