Beebe’s Post 91-O’Reilly Auto Parts Junior American Legion team fell behind early in the first game of its doubleheader against Maumelle before losing 15-5 in seven innings.
Beebe bounced back in the nightcap, though, racking up 13-consecutive runs en route to a 13-2 win Monday night at Gillam Fields.
In game one, the score was tied 2-2 after two innings of play, but Maumelle (2-3) exploded for six runs in the top of the third to take an 8-2 lead into the fourth inning. Beebe (3-2) was unable to recover from Maumelle’s six-run third inning, and trailed by as much 15-2 after 6 1/2 innings.
Beebe did score three runs in the bottom of the seventh to set the final score, and the O’Reilly Auto Parts team carried that momentum into game two. Playing as the visiting team in game two, Beebe scored four of its 13 runs in the top of the first inning.
