Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - The Sky Carp fell just short of their fourth straight victory Thursday night, losing 4-3 to the Chiefs at ABC Supply Stadium.
It was a back-and-forth affair that was decided by an unearned run in the top of the eighth inning by the Chiefs.
The Sky Carp received another solid pitching performance. Cade Gibson went six innings and allowed three runs, while Edgar Sanchez, Tyler Eckberg and Xavier Meachem all went one inning without allowing an earned run.
Yiddi Cappe had a terrific night at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a pair of walks. Cappe tied the game with a two-out single in the sixth inning. Cam Barstad and Johnny Olmstead also each banged out a pair of hits for the Sky Carp.
Twice the home team rallied back from deficits only to see the Chiefs respond with a run to go back in front.
