Mudcats Pitching Ravaged by Beard
After a 5-hit effort to lead Kannapolis's 16-14 victory over the Carolina Mudcats, left fielder James Beard told BNN beat writers it had been "a special day."

"It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college, two hits in a game is nice," he said. "Three or four is better, but five or more is out of sight. And to do that at the Carolina League-level is really something special."

The 20-year-old player earned his accolades today at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium with a spectacular 5-for-5 game against the Mudcats.

"His swing is getting there," said Cannon Ballers skipper Guillermo Quiroz, who spoke glowingly of Beard after the game. "We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. James did that to perfection today."

James Beard doubled in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Felix Valerio in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.

Looking at his season stats, Beard has compiled a .351 batting average and a .430 on-base percentage, while hitting 12 home runs and driving in 44 runs.
