In the final game of their series against Ottawa, the Tri-City ValleyCats found themselves with a depleted bullpen. However, rookie starting pitcher Dan Beebe stepped up and delivered a stellar performance, leading the ValleyCats to a 6-2 victory over the Titans in frontier league action. Beebe pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out eight. His impressive outing gave the bullpen a much-needed rest and earned praise from ValleyCats manager Pete Incaviglia.
This win was crucial for the ValleyCats, as their bullpen had been overworked in the previous week, including a tough loss to Ottawa in sudden death. Incaviglia expressed his gratitude for Beebe’s performance, highlighting the importance of having a fully rested bullpen for the upcoming series against the Schaumburg Boomers.
Beebe, in his fourth professional start after joining the ValleyCats from Division II Palm Beach Atlantic, acknowledged the need for focus and execution due to fatigue from four consecutive days of rest. Despite a slight decrease in velocity towards the end of the game, Beebe praised his catcher, Cale Jones, for calling an excellent game. Their connection and understanding helped Beebe attack the opposing hitters effectively.
Incaviglia revealed that he only had two relievers available for the game – Elliot Carney and Greg Veliz. He also activated starter Garrison Bryant from the injured list as a precautionary measure. However, Beebe’s performance surpassed expectations and mirrored his impressive debut in Gateway.
Throughout the game, the ValleyCats showed their athleticism and speed, manufacturing runs through steals, sacrifice flies, and capitalizing on errors by Ottawa. This aggressive style of play put pressure on the opposing defense and contributed to their 6-0 lead.
Overall, Beebe’s exceptional performance on the mound propelled the Tri-City ValleyCats to victory, allowing the bullpen to rest and setting a positive tone for their upcoming series against the Schaumburg Boomers.
