Bees defeat Beloit 10-4 in road series opener

Put up ten runs, throw in ten hits, five for extra bases, six walks, blend a little three hit performance from Hector Yan and you have a pretty good formula for winning. That is the way it went for Burlington in the opener of a three-game set in Beloit.
The Bees beat the Snappers 10-4 on Tuesday night. It was their second win in a row. Kevin Maitan had two triples and scored twice. Alex Olmeda had two hits and two runs batted in. Justin Jones hit his third homerun of the year, and Alvaro Rubalcaba returned to the Burlington line up with a dinger.

In third Burlington sent ten batters to the plate. Jordyn Adams started it with a walk. He scored on the first of Maitan's triples. An out later D. C. Arendas walked. Griffin walked. Francisco Del Valle walked. Olmeda lined a single to right scoring two. First and third. Jones singled, scoring Del Valle with the fifth run of the frame. Bees up 6-0.
Rubalcaba, who joined the team for the first time this season on Monday, hit a leadoff homer in the sixth inning. An out later, Maitan mashed his second triple. Nonie Williams drove him home with a line drive single to left. Bees up 8-1.
