June 1, 2021 - Midwest League (MWL)
Beloit Sky Carp News Release
DAVENPORT, IA - Beloit Snappers (14-11) used home runs and strong pitching to capture a 7-0 shutout over the Quad Cities River Bandits (15-9) on Tuesday night. The first time the River Bandits have been shutout this season.
Griffin Conine started the action for Beloit with a solo home run to right field to put the Snappers up 1-0. The next two Beloit hits came in the fifth inning. Snappers designated hitter David Martinez hit a solo home run out of the nine-spot to lead off the inning. Two batters later, Thomas Jones hit his own home run to put Beloit in a 3-0 lead.
With the game still within striking distance, the Snappers used a four-run ninth inning to capture a 7-0 win thanks, in part, to Troy Johnston's bases-clearing double. Tuesday was his first day in a Snappers uniform.
Beloit's Top Performers: Conine was 2-for-4 with a walk and a home run, extending his hit streak to a season-best 11 games. Will Banfield reached three times. Martinez went 2-for-2 with two walks and a home run - his first of the season. Bryan Hoeing, Jackson Rose, and Tyler Mitzel combined to throw a one-hitter.
The Snappers face Quad Cities again on Wednesday before returning home on June 8th against the Cedar Rapids Kernels. For more information on tickets or group outings, please call our front office at 608.362.2272 or visit SnappersBaseball.com.
