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

February is, without a doubt, my least favorite month of any year. The NFL my other sporting passion winds to a close, yet MLB is still more a pipe dream than anything else. Here in Minnesota, it’s the snowiest and coldest (on average) month of the long winter hibernation. No days off from work, and the one “holiday” is manufactured by greeting card makers & large stuffed bear producers. Though we are told to “beware the ides of March”, as the old saying goes, I actually look forward to them. It means I’ve somehow survived another 28 sometimes even a grueling 29 days of Gregorian calendar month #2.
