DAYTON, Ohio - For the second straight night, the Beloit Sky Carp flexed their offensive muscle in a victory over the Dayton Dragons.

Davis Bradshaw got the Sky Carp on the board and tied the game at 1-1 in the third with an RBI single that plated Yiddi Cappe. Beloit took the lead in the fourth inning on Jake Thompson's 12th home run of the season.
After the Dragons re-took the lead with three runs in the bottom of the fourth, Beloit fashioned one of its best innings of the season in the fifth.
Joe Mack got the scoring started with his third homer of the season. Zach Zubia continued his recent tear with a two-run blast that gave the Sky Carp a 5-4 lead. Cam Barstad got into the act as well, going deep for the third time this year with Thompson along for the ride.
Thompson connected for an RBI single to make it 9-5, and Cappe capped the scoring with an RBI single in the eighth inning to make it 11-6.
