Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - Packed with pink Poopsie beach towels, the enthusiastic crowd of 2,218 was treated to a rather incredible strikeout bonanza Friday night at ABC Supply Stadium.
The Sky Carp and the Captains combined for 35 strikeouts in a 2-0 Captains win.
Tugboat Wilkinson (1-0) continued his outstanding 2024 season for the Captains, throwing five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts.
After a pair of scoreless frames from Jay Driver, Morehouse notched his fourth save of the season for the Sky Carp by hurling the final two frames without incident.
The Sky Carp were nearly as good on the mound, with Thomas White (0-1) striking out eight and walking two while allowing a pair of runs in 4 1-3 innings.
Ignacio Feliz, Josh Ekness and Evan Taylor combined to strike out 10 in 4 2-3 frames to close things out on the pitching side.
The Captains scored a run in the second and one more in the fifth to provide all the evening's offense.
Cam Barstad and Osiris Johnson each finished with two hits for the Sky Carp.
