Sky Carp Set New Attendance Record
August 26, 2023 - Midwest League (MWL)
Beloit Sky Carp News Release
BELOIT- An all-time record crowd. An incredible night filled with incredible kids. Although the Sky Carp didn't see their wish of a win granted, there were plenty of wins collected throughout ABC Supply Stadium Saturday night.
The throng of 4,036 fans, boosted mightily by the presence of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin and ABC Supply Company, saw the Sky Carp go down to a 6-3 defeat to Lake County.
The day's activities were filled with wishes being fulfilled and memories made, as kids did everything from sign one-day contracts to run around the bases while slapping players five before the game.
The presence of legendary organist Nancy Faust entertaining the crowd throughout the evening made it all the more special.
The game itself was pretty well decided in the fifth inning when Lake County's Chase DeLautier cracked a three-run homer to break open a 2-1 game.
Beloit's Jake Thompson went 3-for-3 with a double to extend his hitting streak to 15, while former Sky Carp Kahlil Watson hit a single and a pair of doubles for the Captains.
Beloit and Lake County will complete their six-game series Sunday night at 1:05. It will be Sunday Family Funday at the ballpark! Kids 12 and under can run the bases following the game, while families can play catch in the outfield following the base run!
The Beloit Sky Carp are the High-A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins and play their games at ABC Supply Stadium -- the heart of the Riverbend District.
