Game two started almost the same way that game one did. Nasim Nunez drew a walk with one out and stole second. Bennett Hostetler reached on an infield single with two outs to put runners on the corners. Davis Bradshaw sent a slow roller up the third base line for an infield single to score Nunez and Beloit (42-47 overall, 11-13 second half) had a 1-0 lead.
The Sky Carp added to their lead in the second inning. Dalvy Rosario doubled to start the inning and moved to third on a grounder. Kyler Castillo drove in Rosario with a sacrifice fly for the 2-0 advantage.
Wisconsin starting pitcher Justin Jarvis retired the first two batters he faced in the top of the third inning. Then, Hostetler and Bradshaw singled. Ynmanol Marinez followed with an RBI single. Dalvy Rosario capped the inning with a two-run triple and Beloit was up 5-0.
Pat Monteverde was the starting pitcher for the Sky Carp. He tossed five scoreless innings with three hits, a walk, and six strikeouts. In three starts against the Timber Rattlers this season, Monteverde has pitched 15-2/3 scoreless innings.
The Timber Rattlers offense broke through against reliever Raul Brito in the bottom of the sixth inning. Tristan Peters singled, and Joe Gray Jr doubled to start the inning. Ashton McGee drove in Peters with a grounder. Darrien Miller knocked in Gray with a two-out single to right. That was as close as the Rattlers (48-41, 12-12) would get.
Brito got the final out of the sixth. Robinson Martinez worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh for the save.
Wisconsin has lost seven straight games for the first time this season.
