Beloit finally got to the Kernels' bullpen in the eighth, plating a pair on a single followed by a fielder's choice then back-to-back doubles. Cedar Rapids wouldn't score in the tenth, then Davis Bradshaw lined a walk-off single to center with one away for the Sky Carp.

Will Holland and Encarnacion-Strand each had two-hit games while Bobby Milacki worked a pair of scoreless innings in relief.

Game five of the series is set for Saturday at 6:35 p.m. CT at ABC Supply Stadium.
