8/15 Games; Beckham debuts

[sox1970]

Beckham is at SS and batting second for Kannapolis tonight.

He walked on four pitches in his first plate appearance.

Edit: Beckham wasn't alone. The pitcher for Hickory walked the first 6 batters, and hit the showers.

It was brutal. Kanny scored 7 runs in the first inning--on one 1 hit. After Felix walked the first six batters, Benoit came in and gave up a grand slam to the first batter he faced, Inouye.

Saturday he'll make a quick stop in Birmingham, Sunday in Charlotte, and be good to go when Seattle comes to town on Monday.

Keep it up Beck!

Note to self: in between his at-bats, try to think of a sweet nickname for Gordon Beckham....

Anything short of the cycle is unacceptable.

Beckham AB 4: Single to center, but out at second trying to stretch to a double.

3-3, walk, 2 singles, double, 2 runs

[California Sox]

Beckham with a throwing error. Sounded like a do or die play and ball in dirt got away letting runner take third. Not a big deal.

[sox1970]

Beckham grounded out to third in his last AB.

Finishes his debut 3-4, double, 2 runs

The Tide leading the Knights 4-2 in the 7th (long rain delay)

Josh Fields 0-3 with a walk and 2 Ks and error #10. Why did he get sent back down again??
