15-hit attack paces Sky Carp win

BELOIT – The Sky Carp won their third game in a row in front of another outstanding crowd at ABC Supply Stadium, winning 8-5 over the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

The Carp trailed 3-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth when they parlayed four hits into three runs to take the lead for good.

With the game still tight at 4-3, the Sky Carp added three more runs in the seventh inning to hold a 7-3 advantage. Both teams scored in the eighth inning, and Brandon White was able to close things out in the ninth.

Jake Brooks allowed just three runs in six innings of work. Brooks (2-2) walked one and struck out four, and White notched his second save by allowing two runs in the final three frames.

Gage Miller continued his outstanding series at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a walk. Connor Caskenette added a pair of hits, as did Michael Snyder and Payton Green as the Carp secured a season-high 15 base hits to go along with three steals.
