Beach Bums 4, Sliders 2

The Beach Bums improved to 2-0 on Thursday night with a 4-2 win over the Midwest Sliders (0-2).  The Beach Bums were paced by the play of left fielder Mike Goetz who had three walks and a huge 2-RBI single up the middle in the bottom of the eighth to put the Beach Bums up 4-0.   The Beach Bums bullpen made it exciting for the second night in a row, allowing two runs in the ninth, but Nick Pepper earned his first save of the season by striking out Anthony Albano with the bases loaded to end the game.  Starting pitcher Ryan Gehring earned the win with 7 one-hit shutout innings. 

The weather should be nice for a Friday Night Fireworks show, so come out to the park and see the Beach Bums go for the first series sweep of the season before heading out on a 6-game road trip.  See you at the park - GO BUMS!
