Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - The Dayton Dragons plated five runs in the seventh inning to pave the way for an 8-5 victory over the Sky Carp Tuesday night at ABC Supply Stadium.
The Carp took a 4-2 advantage into the seventh before the Dragons rallied against a combination of Nick Brink and Nick Maldonado.
The Sky Carp picked up a run in seventh on an RBI single by Payton Green, but could get no closer.
After the Dragons scored single runs in both the first and second innings against Brink, the Carp rallied for four runs in the fourth inning to take command of the game. Connor Caskenette brought the team to within a run with a sacrifice fly, and Gage Miller gave the Carp the lead with a two-run triple.
Wilfredo Lara capped the Carp scoring in the inning with a sacrifice fly of his own. The 4-2 lead would stand until the seventh inning.
Brink set a new career high with 6 2-3 innings, but gave up the lead before departing.
The two teams will meet again Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. in a special mid-week Camp Day matinee. It's still one-price Wednesday, where fans attending can get a hot dog, chips and a drink along with their game ticket for the low price of $18.
