Beckman had lost three straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 6-5-1 to make it four. They fell 5-0 to the El Toro Chargers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Chargers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 1-0 on Tuesday.
As for El Toro, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-7-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games.
For El Toro's part, the result came thanks to Max Smith's shutout, as he gave up just seven hits. Smith also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Chargers are 6-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 1-6-1 otherwise.
At the plate, El Toro's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jason Lim, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
