BELOIT, WI - The Snappers bats exploded for a 5-run sixth inning, but it was not enough as Beloit fell to the West Michigan Whitecaps 13-7 on Thursday Night. Beloit had a solid day at the plate scoring 5 runs, but 5 straight innings of runs for the Caps was too much this evening.

Very similar to last night's game, West Michigan would get the bats going early and often scoring 6 unanswered runs in the first six innings tonight. However, the resilient bats of the Beloit Snappers would not be discouraged putting up 5 runs in the bottom half of the sixth.

In the sixth inning, Skyler Weber and Joseph Pena would lead off with back-to-back singles and advance a base after a defensive miscue for West Michigan. Skipping ahead two batters, Nick Ward would hit a sharp double down the left field line to plate Weber and the Snappers first runs of the ballgame.

Moments later, Cobie Vance ripped a ball to left field to score Pena and cut the Snappers deficit to just 4 at the time. Then, after a change of pitcher for the Caps and a strikeout for Beloit, the fireworks would start in terms of the longball for the Snappers.

With two runners on, Logan Farrar launched a ball over the right field wall for the Snappers first sixth-inning home homer of the season making the deficit just one after six. The homer was Farrar's second longball on the season and completed the 5-run 6th inning for Beloit.

In the ninth, Beloit would get two more runs with 3 straight hits, however, it would not be enough as the Snappers fell 13-7 tonight. In the inning, Lester Madden and Weber hit back-to- back doubles with two outs, while Pena singled in later to round out the scoring for Beloit.

Beloit will be back in action tomorrow to finish out this 3-game series with the Whitecaps tomorrow before welcoming in the Chicago Cubs affiliate, the South Bend Cubs for the first and only time this year this weekend.
