Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT - The Sky Carp entertained a tremendous Education Day crowd of 1,839 by taking down the River Bandits 6-5 Wednesday afternoon.
Jake Thompson hit a three-run home run, Emmett Olson continued his streak of scoreless baseball and the Sky Carp held off a late rally to even the series at one game each.
Thompson's blast came just after a Yiddi Cappe RBI double and gave the home team a 4-0 lead in the third inning of the game.
After the River Bandits cut the lead in half in the seventh inning, Andrew Fernandez restored the lead to four runs with a two-run blast, his first of the season.
Although the River Bandits rallied for three runs in the eighth inning, the Sky Carp were able to hang on for the win behind Evan Taylor's second save of the season.
Emmett Olson continued his terrific start to the 2024 season as he made his Sky Carp debut. Olson, who pitched 16 scoreless innings for Jupiter to start the year, held the River Bandits scoreless through 5 2-3 innings Wednesday to earn the victory.
