Beecher proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 14) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Peotone Blue Devils a 2-0 shutout. The victory continues a trend for the Bobcats in their matchups with the Blue Devils: they've now won six in a row.
