The Snappers scored both of their runs in the first game on sacrifice flies and used Nate Mondou's in the seventh inning to seal the fourth walk-off win of the season for Beloit. Luis Barrera knocked in the first run of the game in the home half of the sixth. The Timber Rattlers scored their only run of the game with consecutive doubles by Tucker Neuhaus and Monte Harrison that tied the game 1-1 in the top of the seventh.
Luke Persico helped set up the first run of the game as Beloit perfectly executed the hit-and-run with Mondou taking off from first base. Mondou hit second and flew to third as Persico's grounder leaked into center field. The Snappers loaded the bases in the sixth and seventh. A crucial play in the final inning is credited to Jason Goldstein. He laid down a bunt up the first base line and avoided the tag of first basemen Ronnie Gideon to give the Snappers a pair of runners with no outs.
Brandon Bailey started the first game for Beloit and fired four scoreless frames. He allowed three hits and fanned five as his scoreless streak now reaches 14 consecutive innings. Heath Bowers worked the final three innings for Beloit to earn his team-high fourth win of the year. Wisconsin starter Trey Supak held the Snappers in check over five scoreless frames to go with six strikeouts.

The second game of the night saw the Timber Rattlers claim their first game of the series behind a stellar performance by Beloit Memorial graduate Cameron Roegner. The Snappers plated a pair of runs in the seventh and had the tying run on third base, but Wisconsin held on for the win.
Roegner spun six innings and struck out three while allowing three hits. Beloit scored their only run off him on a sac fly in the third by Luke Persico. The Snappers threatened in the seventh as Braden Webb walked four batters.
Beloit's only extra-base hit of game two came from Mike Martin. He ricocheted a sharp grounder off Roegner that trickled into shallow right field, but Martin kept chugging on to second base on a ball that traveled only 120 feet from home plate. Wisconsin had a big two-run single from Monte Harrison in the third inning that turned out to be the game-deciding knock.
