The Beach Bums swept Rockford and took 2 of 3 games in Windy City to finish the recent road trip 5-1, bringing the overall record to 13-5, which is tops in the Frontier League as of today. There were a lot of standout performances on the road trip, highlighted by RHP David Nathanson, who won 2 games to improved a league leading 4-0 on the season. He is also currently second in the Frontier League in ERA. Beach Bums' fans can see Nathanson pitch during the current home stand on Saturday.
Other notable performances included OF Mike Goetz and DH Jake Whitesides. Goetz continued to rack up the hits and enters the current homestand as the league leader in batting average, on-base percentage, and hits. What Mike Goetz set up, Jake Whitesides knocked down, adding quite a few RBIs to his league best 26 in only 18 games, which is on pace to break the Frontier League record of 100 RBI on the season.
The Beach Bums' will play the same two teams they played on the road during the current home stand, starting with the Rockford Riverhawks from June 10-12 and the Windy City Thunderbolts from June 13-15. If you're bummed about gas prices, don't miss Thursday's protest at the ballpark, which will drop ticket prices to $4, or the current price of a gallon of gas.
