The Sky Carp added two more runs in the fourth, as Josh Zamora plated Davis Bradshaw with a fielders choice, and Rodriguez drove home Cam Barstad with a sacrifice fly to give Beloit a 4-0 lead.
After Dayton got back into the game with a pair of runs in the fourth, Barstad singled home Torin Montgomery before Zamora unloaded a three-run blast to make it 8-2.
Osiris Johnson capped the scoring for Beloit with a solo shot to center in the seventh, his sixth round-tripper of the season.
