BELOIT- The Quad Cities River Bandits were down to their final strike before rallying for a 7-5 win in 10 innings over the Beloit Sky Carp Saturday night.
The River Bandits were trailing 5-4 with two outs in the ninth inning when Peyton Wilson hit an infield single to plate Burle Dixon with the tying run.
Quad Cities then scored a pair of runs in the 10th inning, again both with two outs, while the Sky Carp couldn't scratch anything across in the bottom half.

The Sky Carp took command of the game in the fifth inning with three runs. Mesa had an RBI grounder, and Hostetler hit a two-run triple to make the score 5-4.
