Quad Cities River Bandits News Release


Davenport, Iowa - The Quad Cities River Bandits lost their third game in-a-row on Wednesday, dropping the second of a six-game series with the Beloit Sky Carp 8-6 in ten innings at Modern Woodmen Park.

For the second time in the series, it was Beloit taking an initial 2-0 lead, this time against Bandits' starter Noah Murdock, who faced the minimum in his first two innings, but allowed a two-run homer to Marcus Chiu in the top of the third.

After left-hander Patrick Monteverde was scratched from his start, Jackson Rose gave the Sky Carp three scoreless innings in his place and faced nine batters in those frames. However, the Bandits would load the bases against him with one out in the bottom of the fourth, spelling the end of Rose's first Beloit start.

On the first pitch from newly entered Josan Mendez, Kale Emshoff got Quad Cities on the board with a line drive RBI up the middle before Peyton Wilson tied the game with a bases loaded walk two batters later.

The next batter, Juan Carlos Negret, looked to have ended the inning after popping up with the bases loaded, but Ynmanol Marinez dropped the ball along the third base line, allowing two runs to score.

Dillan Shrum made it a five-run inning and a 5-2 Bandits' lead with an RBI single of his own to cap off the scoring.

Beloit was quick to answer in the top of the fifth though, plating a pair on back-to-back RBI hits from Nasim Nunez and Victor Mesa Jr. in Murdock's final inning to trim Quad Cities' lead to one.

While the Bandits failed to score after Diego Hernandez's lead off triple in the bottom of the fifth, Beloit went on to score runs in the sixth and seventh against Charlie Neuweiler- with a Peyton Wilson throwing error causing the run in the seventh- to take a 6-5 lead, but Hernandez came through again with an RBI single against Raul Brito in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game.

Depite giving up runs in the seventh, Neuweiler and Brito settled down to pitch a scoreless eighth before Patrick Halligan and Justin Evans came on to toss a scoreless ninth, even though the Bandits got a man into scoring position in each of the final two regulation innings.

In the top of the tenth, Halligan balked to move Will Banfield, the placed runner, into scoring position with no one out, but retired the next two Sky Carp hitters. However, after working Bennett Hostetler into a two-strike count, the Beloit catcher launched a two-run homer to give the visitors the lead.

The bottom of the tenth saw just a two-out walk worked by Herard Gonzalez, as Evans struck out the side for the second time in as many innings to close the door on an 8-6 Sky Carp victory.

Halligan (1-2) ended up with the loss out of the bullpen with his nine-inning scoreless streak coming to an end after allowing two runs, one earned, in 2.0 innings. Evans (1-2) dominated the ninth and tenth innings out of the Beloit bullpen for his first victory along with six strikeouts.

Quad Cities will look to snap the three-game skid on Wednesday, sending Noah Cameron (1-0, 3.00) to the mound for his first start at Modern Woodmen Park. Dax Fulton (1-4, 4.26) is slated to get the ball for Beloit. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30pm.
