Beloit Sky Carp News Release


The Beloit Snappers wrapped up their seven-game home stand with a 6-3 loss to Quad Cities Thursday night and extended their losing streak to a season-worst nine games.

Despite jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, home runs once again doomed the Snappers as Quad Cities showcased its offensive prowess.

Ronnie Mitchell knocked two home runs in the fifth and six innings to take the lead and provide the necessary insurance runs. Mitchell finished the series with three home runs and now has 12 home runs on the season. Six of Mitchell's 12 homers this year have come at the expense of the Beloit pitching staff.

Beloit has now given up a league-worst 62 home runs on the season. Quad Cities leads the Midwest League in batting average (.272) and ranks third in runs scored (392).

Lou Trivino pitched 5.2 innings, giving up six hits and four earned runs for the Snappers. Kevin Comer picked up the win for the River Bandits as he gave up two earned runs in five innings pitched.

The Snappers looked to be in business early as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead before giving up five unanswered runs.

Phil Pohl led off the bottom of the third inning with a double and scored from third base off a sacrifice fly from Melvin Mercedes.

Beloit added another run in the fourth inning as Jaycob Brugman led off the frame with a standup triple and scored off a sacrifice fly from Tyler Marincov.

Quad Cities showed off its hitting power in the next two innings as Mitchell hit two home runs and Chase McDonald tacked on an RBI-single to give Quad Cities a 5-2 lead after six innings.

The Snappers attempted a modest comeback in the eighth inning as Brugman's RBI-double sent Chih-Fang Pan across the plate to cut Quad Cities' lead to 5-3. Brugman finished the night 2-for-4 with a double and triple, his only hits of the series against the River Bandits.

Beloit's comeback bid failed, however, as Tyler Marincov and Luis Baez struck out to end the inning.

Quad Cities tacked on one additional run in the top of the ninth inning as a Marincov throwing error allowed Jose Fernandez to score from third base. Phil Pohl and Matt Chapman collided while trying to make the play on the third base line but both players were OK.

The Snappers travel to Cedar Rapids on Friday before returning home to Pohlman Field next Tuesday to take on the Burlington Bees at 7:00 p.m.
