The Chiefs scored three runs in the first inning off Beloit starter Zach King with a three-run home run from Brady Whalen. Neither team would score again until the sixth inning. That's when Troy Johnston would hit an opposite-field home run, his sixth home run of the season to make it a 3-2 ballgame. Then, with two down and 0-2 count, Nic Ready turned on an inside fastball for a home run to left field to tie the game.
Nic Ready hit a home run on Father's Day. His father Randy Ready played in the majors for 13 seasons and hit 40 home runs.
