HINSHAW EXTENDS ON BASE STREAK TO 21 GAMES IN LOSS

 

In 140 Characters or Less: Maddox notches 3 doubles and 2 RBI, Hinshaw extends on base streak to 21 games as Bees drop opener to Lancaster 8-4 #NewBritainVsEverybody

 

The Game Changed When… Lancaster came to bat in the bottom of the 6th inning, down 3-2 at the time. In that frame, 9 hitters would come to the plate for the Barnstormers, and 6 of them would come around to score. The offense was led by RBI hits from Garrett Weber and Nate Coronado, followed by a grand slam from Beau Amaral, which would prove to be the game winning blow. Lancaster would hold on to the lead that they gained in that inning for the rest of the night.
