Beck Bashes 3 HR for Beloit Friday, September 6th , 2047 Beloit Snappers catcher Shannon Beck sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little. Prior to the start of today's contest with the Quad Cities River Bandits, Beck told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times. "During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber." The big day from Beck pushed the Snappers past the River Bandits, 18-5. To go along with the homers, he collected 5 RBIs and scored 4 runs. "I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Beck told reporters after the game. Shannon Beck hit a solo-shot off Robin Yelland in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Robin Yelland in the 3rd, was hit by a pitch in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Malachi Shelton in the 6th, struck out in the 6th and hit a sac fly in the 8th. This season Beck has delivered 93 hits in 418 at-bats for a .222 average with 35 home runs. He is getting on base at a .307 clip and his totals also include 77 RBIs and 69 runs scored. This year Beck has played in 109 games. |
