Notes: The Snappers were only able to get one run across on eleven hits in their 2-1 loss to the Wizards on Thursday afternoon. Designated Hitter, Joe Benson, added three hits, including his 15th double of the season, in the loss.
Fort Wayne got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning off the bat of Jeremy Hunt. Hunt scored Cedric Hunter, who earlier doubled, from second to make it a 1-0 Wizards' lead.
The Wizards struck again in the bottom of the fourth inning on a Sam Carter RBI double. Carter drove Tom King, who led the inning off with a single, home to give Fort Wayne a 2-0 advantage.
Beloit clawed their way back in the top of the fifth inning with a run of their own. Matt Betsill hit Joe Benson in on a groundout to second base. Benson earlier had a single to left field with one out. Joe's run pulled the Snappers to within one run, 2-1.
That would be all that the Wizards' pitching staff would allow, however, as they went on to shut down the Beloit lineup and win by a final of 2-1.
Beloit starter, Brian Kirwan, picked up the loss going six and one third innings only allowing two runs off seven hits. Kirwan's loss is his third of the season.
Beloit's second half record is now 23-15.
