Beau Hellman

MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth College’s Beau Hellman turned in a superb hitting and pitching performance Saturday and as a result earned his second Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor this season.

Hellman came through twice in the clutch for the Fighting Scots in their Saturday doubleheader against Knox.

In the opener, Monmouth trailed 6-3 in the bottom of the final inning, but Hellman drilled a three-run double to tie the game.

Knox won the contest in extra innings, though, so the teams entered the nightcap tied atop the league standings. In his most important start of the season, Hellman threw a nine-inning complete-game, getting the last five outs by strikeout, to keep Monmouth in control of the MWC South.

Hellman, who is now 5-0 on the year, was also 3-for-5 at the plate with another RBI, finishing the twinbill 4-for-9 with four RBIs.
