BELOIT— An eighth-inning home run by Ynmanol Marinez propelled the Beloit Sky Carp to a 4-3 victory and a series win on Sunday afternoon at ABC Supply Stadium.
In front of a terrific matinee crowd of 2,022, the Sky Carp won for the seventh time in their last nine games.
Marinez’s solo blast broke a 3-3 tie, made a winner of out Chris Mokma and set up a save opportunity for Chandler Jozwiak, who converted in routine fashion for his fourth save of the season.
Beloit took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI double Victor Mesa Jr. And a run-scoring groundout by Davis Bradshaw.
After allowing a run in the top of the third inning, Beloit’s Marcus Chiu’s run-scoring grounder made it 3-1. The Bandits scored single runs in the sixth and eighth to tie the game, setting up Marinez’s heroics.
