The Snappers scored their first run of the series in the top of the second.
The Snappers run in the second snapped a 21 consecutive scoreless inning streak that dated back to game four of the Quad Cities series. Beloit has hit at least one extra-base hit in all seven games of the second half. They also avoided a three-game sweep with Wednesday's win.
The Snappers will head home for the first time in the second half for a four-game series against the Peoria Chiefs and then two games against the Quad Cities River Bandits. The Snappers starter for Thursday will be announced later.
