See-Saw Series Swings Back to Bandits
August 8, 2025 - Midwest League (MWL)
Beloit Sky Carp News Release
DAVENPORT, Iowa. - Quad Cities evened up the six-game series at two games each with a 3-2 victory Friday night.
With the win, the two teams are tied for first place in the Midwest League Western Division with 26 games to play.
The Sky Carp got off to a good start with Garret Forrester knocking in Brandon Compton to make it 1-0 in the first inning. But the Carp left the bases loaded in both the first and the second inning and the Bandits took advantage.
Quad Cities scored a run in the bottom of the first and two more in the third to account for their runs.
Aiva Arquette cracked a two-out, RBI double in the ninth inning to make it 3-2, but Wilson Weber struck out to end the game. Micah McDowell continued his strong series with a pair of hits.
Nick Brink took the loss but pitched well for the Sky Carp. Brink allowed just one earned run in five innings, and the bullpen was strong as usual. Xavier Meachem threw a pair of scoreless frames and Jack Sellinger threw a scoreless eighth to cap the night for the Carp.
The Sky Carp are now one game ahead of the River Bandits with 26 games remaining.
The two teams will do battle again Saturday at 6:35 p.m.
The Carp will return home on Tuesday, for a series against the South Bend Cubs.
