Peoria answered right back in the bottom of the third inning with a run of their own. Cliff Anderson tripled with one out and later scored on a throwing error from Beloit's Deibinson Romero. Anderson's run tied the game up at 1-1 after three innings.
The Snaps scored two more in the top of the eighth inning to take a 3-1 lead. Estarlin De Los Santos led off with a solo homer to left and Chris Parmelee delivered an RBI-sacrifice fly to left. Estarlin and Chris gave the Snappers a two-run lead heading into the bottom of the eighth.
Beloit's Charles Nolte took it from there, allowing just three hits over the last three innings to close the door on the Chiefs. Nolte and the Snappers went on to win by the final of 3-1.
The Snappers got an impressive outing from starter Michael McCardell, who went six innings and allowed just one run off four hits.
Paul Kelly and Estarlin De Los Santos both collected two hits for the Snaps, who improved to 1-0 in the second half.
