Ben Beast come up short of predictions, lose to Hitters, 111.02-99.60

There's no easy way to put it, Ben Beast underperformed, at least according to projections, as Hitters secured a 111.02-99.60 win. Hitters grabbed an early 8.10-point lead on Thursday. Ben Beast bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by D'Ernest Johnson (19.2 points) and Michael Carter (16.2). Not to be deterred, Hitters got it going later that afternoon, as DeVonta Smith (20.6 points) and Dalvin Cook (19.3) put them back ahead for good. This marks the second time this season Hitters have knocked off Ben Beast, after winning 142.26-101.86 in their last matchup. Hitters (6-4) will look to earn another W against 49ers On Lamb Hill, while Ben Beast (2-8) match up against Sooneye in an effort to get some positive momentum.
