Peoria Chiefs News Release
Beloit, WI - The Peoria Chiefs scored first and last but fell 6-3 to the Beloit Snappers Thursday night. Right fielder Wadye Ynfante went 2-for-3 with a double and RBI to earn the Pekin Insurance Beyond the Expected Player of the Game.
The Chiefs got on the board immediately against Beloit starter Reid Birlingmair. Jonatan Machado led off with a double to left field, his fourth with the Chiefs this season. Two pitches later Machado moved to third on a passed ball and he scored on the same play as catcher John Jones threw wild to third base.
By time the Chiefs came to bat again they were down 4-1. Brandon Riley walked with one out in the second and moved to third on a ground-rule double by Alexis Wilson. Anthony Churlin dropped a fly ball off the bat of Ynfatne allowing Riley to score and cut the Beloit lead to 4-2.
Down 6-2, the Chiefs scored the game's final run in the top of the ninth. Josh Shaw doubled to left center to start the inning and he moved to third on a wild pitch. Machado delivered a sacrifice fly to left to plate Shaw for a 6-3 final score.
Wisconsin native Dalton Roach took the loss despite striking out eight batters over 4 2/3 innings. Reliever Wilfredo Pereira allowed two infield singles over 3 1/3 shutout innings while striking out one.
