River Bandits bounce back to even series
BELOIT—The Beloit Sky Carp couldn’t overcome a six-run third inning, punctuated by a pair of costly errors, in a 10-4 loss to the Quad Cities River Bandits Wednesday night.
Beloit took a 1-0 lead bottom of the second inning on a two-out RBI single by Zach Zubia that plated Jake Thompson.
The River Bandits immediately responded with the six-spot against Beloit starter Cade Gibson, who allowed six runs (five earned) in five innings.
Osiris Johnson brought some juice back into the Beloit offense as he crushed a laser to left field for his second home run of the season to bring the Sky Carp to within 6-3 in the sixth inning.
The River Bandits again responded immediately, scoring twice against Beloit reliever Franklin Sanchez to restored their lead to 8-3, then added two more in the eighth to make it 10-3.
Johnson struck again in the ninth with a single and later came around to score on a base hit by Davis Bradshaw that extended his on-base streak to 20 games.
Beloit and Quad Cities will do battle again Thursday night with a 6:35 contest. It’s Thirsty Thursday, with discounted Busch Light products all evening long! It's also Witches and Wizards Night, with fans encouraged to dress up for the theme!
