Beloit Sky Carp: A Week of Thrills and Close Calls

A Dominant Win Over the Kernels

The Beloit Sky Carp, the High-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, have been entertaining fans with their energetic performances and family-friendly atmosphere at ABC Supply Stadium. Over the past week, the team has delivered a mix of exciting wins and nail-biting losses, showcasing their talent and resilience.

On July 24, the Sky Carp took on the Cedar Rapids Kernels, securing a 3-1 victory. Emmett Olson led the charge with six shutout innings, while the team's pitching staff held the Kernels to just one run on two hits. This win demonstrated the Sky Carp's ability to dominate on the mound, setting the tone for the week ahead.

A Heartbreaking Loss to the Timber Rattlers

However, the Sky Carp's momentum was halted on July 25 when they faced the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Despite a strong start, the game went into extra innings, ultimately ending in a 3-2 loss for the Sky Carp. Luis Lara's double in the top of the tenth inning proved to be the deciding factor, as the Timber Rattlers took the lead and held on for the win.

Upcoming Matchups

As the Sky Carp look to bounce back from their recent loss, they will face the Timber Rattlers again on Friday, July 26. Jacob Miller is set to take the mound for the Sky Carp, facing off against Patricio Aquino of the Timber Rattlers. The game promises to be another thrilling encounter, with the Sky Carp eager to even the series.
