Beatty had three home runs and NINE RBI, as the Falcons took care of weekday business in a 23-9 victory over Hanet Plastics on Monday night.

The Falcons scored in every inning, and only put up a singleton once. The offence (especially Beatty) was clicking at every turn at the plate. The Falcon defence showed up for once, turning two twice, both in unconventional fashion: Cowboy doubled off a runner at second after catching a sinking pop-up (a catch only Cowboy could have made), and Barry Guerrero flashing the leather snagging a hot grounder, touching first and firing on the money to a waiting Grahambo at second to tag the runner.

Hanet MAX6'd out in the third inning, their biggest offensive output of the night.

Beatty, hitting fifth after a brief slump, jumped back into the WMSPL home run leader race, hitting absolute bombs in his first three at-bats before Barry Guerrero Jr hit one to put the Falcons up +2 in the game and taking the bat out of Beatty's hands.

Game notes: Beatty's 3 dingers in this game ties him with Barry Guerrero Jr and Goliath for the Falcons record for most home runs in one game... Beatty's NINE RBi in this game nearly tied him for most RBI in one game (set here and here) by Dunner and Barry Guerrero Jr, respectively... With Cowboy attending his tenth game in a row, he'll match Million Dollar Bill's attendance streak record late in 2027... Big thanks to Dan from the Isotopes for filling in to catch for the Falcons in this game (see you Sunday!)... Dunner was only a home run short of the cycle.
