UTICA, Mich. –The Birmingham-Bloomfield Beavers (8-9) shut down the Eastside Diamond Hoppers (6-11), 6-0, to inch closer to the .500 mark on Salute to America Night at Jimmy John’s Field.
The Beavers took control of the game early after scoring the first run in the third inning. The offense wasn’t finished after that and was able to knock five more in, including a dinger from third baseman Eric Whitfield.
