The Aberdeen IronBirds have been on fire lately. Having not lost any of their previous seven series, Aberdeen was ready to take on the Bowling Green Hot Rods.
The IronBirds would take five of the six games against Bowling Green and are 0.5 games out of first place, as they improved to 16-7 in the second half of the season.
Let’s take a look at who stood out this series for the IronBirds.

Dylan Beavers showed up big time in the Bowling Green series. Hitting .444 for the series, Beavers improved his slashline in June to .377/.470/.736.
The young outfielder’s best game came in Tuesday’s IronBirds’ victory. For the game, Beavers would go 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, hitting his ninth home run while collecting two RBIs.
For the season, the Orioles’ No. 10 prospect is now slashing .260/.355/.455 with nine home runs and 46 RBIs. He has collected 76 total hits across 79 games, including 24 doubles and three triples, while scoring 43 runs and stealing 18 bases.
