BOSTON, Mass. — Georgia Southern's Victor Roache and Chris Beck competed in the 2011 Cape Cod League All-Star baseball game for the West Division at Fenway Park Friday.
    The contest, in which Roache, who is at or near the top of the league in batting average (2nd — .328), home runs (2nd — 6) and RBIs (1st — 28) start at designated hitter, and Beck pitched a scoreless inning, was broadcasted throughout the eastern part of the country on numerous regional sports networks and was won by the East Divison 4-1.
    Roache did not get a hit in his three at-bats, but hit two home runs in the home run derby which preceded the All-Star Game.
    One of the homers soared over the famous Green Monster in left field.
    The derby was won by Clemson’s Richie Shaffer, who hit six.
    Beck, who was a late addition to the all-star roster, was the fourth pitcher for the West team and was the only pitcher over a four-inning stretch to not allow a run.
    He responded after the previous two pitchers allowed three total runs and he shutdown the East Division with 20 pitches, 14 for strikes, in the fourth inning.
