The Beloit Snappers (3-3) and Burlington Bees (3-2) split Wednesday nights twinbill in Burlington, IA at Community Field, taking game two 3-2 after falling in game one 6-0.
Though he did not get the win in game two, Jared Poche was dealing. The southpaw tossed 4.2 innings, allowing just one run on three hits, issuing just two walks while striking out six batters.
After having his 2017 campaign end in his professional debut on July 12 after leaving the game after two innings pitched, Poche made up for lost time. His season was cut short as he came out of the game, and was placed on the 60-day DL after the game a season ago.
Poche was spotted a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning before he ever toed the rubber.
As Poche took the mound in the bottom half of the frame, the New Orleans native struck out two of the four batters he faced.
Poche continued his dominance in the second and third innings, getting back-to-back 1-2-3 frames recording one strike out in the second and a pair in the third.
The Snappers were victims of a one-hit shutout in game one, as the Bees took the first game 6-0.
Loehr did not record a hit in game one, thus ending his hitting streak at four games, but quickly started a new one in game two and has hit safely in five of the team's first six games to begin the 2018 campaign.
The Snappers will close out their four-game series with the Bees Thursday morning at 11:30 am. Right-hander
