Woodbridge managed to score a run in the second inning, but Beckman continued to add to their lead throughout the game.

With contributions from players like Brent Byrd and Alex Dorantes, Beckman was able to maintain control of the game and secure the victory. The team’s strong performance on both offense and defense sets the stage for an exciting rematch with Woodbridge on Wednesday and Friday.
