BELOIT, Wis. – The Quad Cities River Bandits broke open a pitcher’s duel on Tuesday afternoon, scoring a run in the eighth inning and three more in the ninth to capture the series opener 4-0.
The game, played before an enthusiastic crowd of high school students on hand for Business Day, was a true pitcher’s showcase through seven innings, with the game featuring a combined five hits.
The Sky Carp pitching staff was outstanding. Emmett Olson started the game and threw 2 2-3 scoreless frames. Xavier Meachem followed with 1 1-3 innings without allowing a run. Will Schomberg was particularly outstanding, throwing 3 2-3 frames while allowing just one unearned run.
Schomberg (0-2) was saddled with the tough-luck loss despite striking out six batters and walking none.
It was a tough day for Sky Carp hitters, as the squad could muster just two base hits, and none after the third inning.
It will be an early Wednesday for both teams, with the Sky Carp hosting Education Day, complete with an 11:05 a.m. start.
