Beloit Sky Carp News Release
On Wednesday, July 3rd when Beloit takes on the Clinton LumberKings right here at Pohlman Field, the Snappers will be donating 50 cents of every ticket sold to help out the victims of the recent floods. The recipients of the donation include the four Minor League Baseball cities affected in Iowa (25 cents per ticket) as well as the flood victims right here in Rock County (25 cents per ticket).
