PEORIA, IL - After hitting for the cycle in Saturday's win, Beloit Snappers' (21-21) first baseman Troy Johnston stayed hot with a home run in back-to-back games in Beloit's 6-3 loss to the Peoria Chiefs (17-25).

Then, with two down and 0-2 count, Nic Ready turned on an inside fastball for a home run to left field to tie the game.
