Grace Beacham turned in nothing short of a gem on Monday: she pitched eight innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her ninth in a row with less than two walks allowed. This season, Beacham has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 2.09 over 110.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.521/0.611/0.904 with 35 runs and 5 home runs, plus 14 stolen bases.
Even though Beacham couldn't lead Hammond over Laurence Manning Academy, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Sadly, Beacham's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped Hammond's nine-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Beacham and Hammond surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Tuesday's match. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
