DAVENPORT, IA - After hitting three home runs in Tuesday's game, the long ball played a factor in the Beloit Snappers (14-12) 11-5 loss on Wednesday to the Quad Cities River Bandits (16-9).
The Snappers scored in the top of the first on an RBI single from Will Banfield to take a 1-0 lead. However, that would be their only lead of the game. In the bottom of the first, Tyler Gentry hit a three-run home run to make it 3-1, Quad Cities. The River Bandits added two more in the second on a two-run home run from Nick Lofton.
Beloit called upon the top of the lineup late. Kameron Misner homered for the second time this season. Quad Cities matched the home run and added another in the final frames to ultimately take the game 11-5.

Quad Cities would have added to its home run total for the night if it was not for Griffin Conine. Conine timed his jump at the wall to strip Tucker Bradley of a home run.
