Beamer had lost ten straight at home dating back to last season, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 1-13 to make it 11. They lost 16-0 to the Kentlake Falcons. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Falcons this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 12-2 on Monday.
As for Kentlake, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 9-5-1. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won five contests by nine runs or more so far this season.
For Kentlake's part, Matthew Ledbetter was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Ledbetter has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in May of 2024.
In other batting news, Kentlake got a massive performance out of Noah Adams, who went 2-for-3 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Adams is becoming a predictor of the Falcons' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 3-4-1 when he doesn't). Kaven Bews also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
