JOHNSTOWN — Righty Dan Beam pitched a complete game this afternoon as Toledo topped Philadelphia 3-1 at Roxbury Park in AAABA Tournament play.
The win keeps the Toledo Monarchs in town for another round in the double-elimination tournament, and sends the Philly Bandits home 0-2. Both teams had lost their openers on Monday.
Beam allowed a first-inning run and then shut Philadelphia down the rest of the way. He finished with six strikeouts, and the Bandits managed two hits in the first and just three over the remaining eight innings.
In the Toledo first, Mike Frigo singled and stole a base ahead of a walk by Ben Magsig. Cody Grice’s double plated Frigo, and Magsig then scored on a wild pitch.
Toledo added a run in the fourth when Ricky Lizcano reached on an error, stole second, went to third on a balk and came home on a sacrifice fly by Chris Kerekes.
