Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - The Sky Carp came up just short against the South Bend Cubs Tuesday night at ABC Supply Stadium, falling 4-2 in front of a terrific Bark at the Park crowd.
The Carp entered the bottom of the ninth trailing 4-1. The first four hitters reached, including an RBI single from Wilson Weber that brought the lead to 4-2.
Cubs reliever Jackson Kirkpatrick came on and struck out Micah McDowell before inducing a game-ending double-play ball from Wilfredo Lara.
Sky Carp starter Karson Milbrandt was simply outstanding, throwing 5 2-3 scoreless frames while allowing just three hits and striking out six.
The Carp took a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly by Aiva Arquette in the third inning, and the game stayed 1-0 until the Cubs scored three runs in the seventh and another in the eighth, setting up the dramatic ninth inning finish.
Arquette had a terrific night at the plate, supplementing the sac fly with two walks and a single.
