EFFINGHAM â As the lights burned brighter in a tight City Series game, morale soared for Effinghamâs Brent Beals.
Using a reliable fastball that not only had heat, but location as well, Beals struck out 11 St. Anthony batters. As quickly as he bore down on the Bulldogsâ lineup, he aggressively attacked at the plate for a 3-for-4, 2-RBI night.
The 3-1 win for Effingham came in the second game of the City Series against St. Anthony. Itâs a true three-game series that makes good use of the lights with the 7 p.m. start.
âOne of my better games this year, came out with confidence,â Beals said. âOne of the biggest games of the year and we all look forward to it.â
