What a year this young Bratpacker is having. Over the first 4 games of the 2010 season all Matt Beck has done is hit .500, while scoring 5 runs and knocking in an amazing 12 runs. The pulse of the Post 701 softball team has 4 extra base hits, good for a 1.083 sluggging average in addition to 173 career rbis, 35 ahead of runnerup Rich Auricchio. His leadoff double in the 3rd inning was his 200th hit in a Post uniform, joining Scott Brennan as the only Post players to attain such rarified air. This 14 year Post veteran shows no signs of slowing down in his quest for the first Post League Title since the 2002 softball season. |

She made her successful debut for the Vocal Image Music Studios concert this past Saturday with a stiring rendition of "Think of Me." The Post all-time rbi leader Matt Beck's lovely 12 year old daughter Camryn Beck electrified the standing room only crowd with her stage presence and high octive voice. Diamond Notes was there for this exclusive photo and broke front page news in discovering that the talented Camryn Beck got her Judy Garland-like vocal cords not from her famous Dad, but from her equally famous GrandMa Pat Beck. |

| In the 14 plus years that Diamond Notes has been covering the Post 701ers, he cannot remember a 4 homerun game by the local favorites. That memory has been jarred big time when 4 of the Post's best hitters went yard vs the Old Timers. With 2 out and no one on in the first it was Danny Auricchio crushing his 13th career homerun for the quick 1-0 Post lead. This homerun was a milestone in the history of the Post 701 as Danny passed his late, great Dad Rich Auricchio on the all time list to take over the number one spot in homeruns. Danny's 2nd career homer came in 2006 in a game vs Libers when his Dad hit his last Post home run. In addition to ranking as one of the best hitters in the AA League, Danny is also one of the best, if not the best fielding infielders. Dad is very proud! One of the original Brat Packers (and the only one left) Matt Beck is enjoying a career year. He is tied for the team lead in rbis with a career best 19 ribbys. With 4 games to go, Matt topped his personal best of 18 set back in 2008. His 3 run homer, which essentially put the game away in the 5th inning was his 11th career shot, and places him only one behind Rich Auricchio for second on the Post career list. Matt's 180 career rbis is 42 better than the runnerup. Shaun Krutz has done nothing but hit since joining the Post back in 2007. He carries a career average of .491 and has 5 lifetime homers in only 167 at bats thanks to his first inning homerun. Another vital kog in the Kiddi Korp link is the speedy and lethal Lorenzo Fiorillo. In only his fifth year as a Post 701er, Lorenzo has 6 lifetime home runs thanks to his 4th inning blast. Just to show that he is not all about the speed, Zo has a .427 career average, fourth on the all-time list. Not bad for a Kiddi Korp member. |
