Beloit Sky Carp News Release
PEORIA -The Sky Carp began the unofficial second half of their season with a solid 7-3 win over the Chiefs Friday night.
Returning from the four-day All-Star break, the Sky Carp evened their record at 11-11 by out-hitting the Chiefs 9-6 and taking advantage of four Peoria errors.
The Sky Carp scored four runs to take the lead for good in the top of the third inning. Johnny Olmstead hit a three-run homer to put the Carp on the board, and Josh Zamora followed with a solo shot to make it 4-0.
After the Chiefs responded with three runs to cut the deficit to one run in the bottom of the third, the Sky Carp responded with a pair of runs, neither of which came on a base hit. One run scored on a Chiefs error, while Osiris Johnson stole home to account for the other tally. Sam Praytor capped the scoring with a two-out RBI single in the seventh.
Jacob Miller (5-4) recorded the win by going seven innings and allowing just three runs, while Alex Williams and Xavier Meachem combined to retire all six batters they faced to close the game.
