Beloit Sky Carp News Release


BELOIT -The crowd of 2,447 was here for a Drone Show.

Emmett Olson was here to shut down the Kernels.

Olson took a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Sky Carp defeated the Kernels 3-1 for their second straight win in the series.

Olson and the Sky Carp bullpen was so efficient that the game ended in 1:50, leading to a bit of a delay before it was dark enough to begin the Drone Show, which delighted fans and players alike.

The Sky Carp took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Brock Vradenburg hit a two-out RBI single to plate birthday boy Johnny Olmstead.

Cam Barstad led off the fifth inning with a home run, and Olmstead later plated Mark Coley with a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.

Kevin Maitan broke up the no-hitter and shutout with one out in the seventh on a solo home run. It would be the Kernels' only tally as Kyle Crigger and Nigel Belgrave finished up the outing.

GAME NOTABLES:

The drone show, which featured 100 drones displaying various patriotic images following the game, was a huge hit with fans.

Reno & Zahm brought a large group out to the picnic area, while Helluva Container, Inc handed out its Driver of the Week award.

Sky Carp reliever Josh White's 93-year-old grandmother Loretta Oh threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game.
