Sellout Crowd Sees Captains Beat Carp
June 8, 2024 - Midwest League (MWL)
Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - A standing-room only crowd of 3,802 on ERAs Night at ABC Supply Stadium witnessed the Captains beat the Sky Carp 5-3 Saturday night.
The crowd jammed to Taylor Swift songs all night, participated in T-Swift Trivia and marked the end of the game with fantastic fireworks show.
The Captains jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the Sky Carp mounted a rally. After a run scored thanks to a Lake County error in the fourth inning, Jake DeLeo hit a two-run double to right field to tied the game at 3-3 with two outs in the fifth.
The contest stayed that way until the top of the ninth inning, when the Captains pushed across a pair of runs to account for the final score.
