Beloit Sky Carp News Release
It was a wet and wild night at Pohlman Field as the Snappers offense broke out of their shell taking the win 9-6 Friday night after a 33 minute rain delay.
Left hander Daniel Osterbrock received a no-decision as he went 5 2/3 innings of work as he also struck out six batters in his 23rd start of the season.
Osterbrock got some early run support as the Snapper's offense broke out five runs in the second inning with the big hit coming from catcher Jeffrey Lanning as he blasted a three-run shot to center field. Lanning would finish the night 2-for-4 with four RBI's and two runs scored.
The Snapper's bullpen had a night to forget as they gave up five runs in the eighth giving Kane County the 6-5 lead.
Ramon Santana led off the Snappers rally as he singled to left to kick start the offense. With one out Nate Hanson singled to put runners on the corner. Michael Harrington would reach on a fielder's choice as Santana was thrown out at home for the second out. Lanning stepped up again and delivered the tying run with a single to right that scored Hanson to knot the game at six apiece. Adan Severino would pinch run for Harrington at second. Drew Thompson slapped a single to right center field to score the speedy Severino to give the Snappers the one run advantage. Angel Morales delivered the biggest blow of the game as he knocked in both Lanning and Thompson with a single to center giving the Snappers the three run advantage.
Daniel Berlind came on in the ninth to save the game as Billy Bullock picked up his third win of the season.
The look to win the series Saturday night as fans can come out to Pohlman Field for 80's night. After the game fans will be treated to another set of fireworks sponsored by Christofferson Moving & Storage. Game time is scheduled for 7:00pm with gates opening at 6:00pm.
