Will Banfield hit a solo homer in the bottom of the second to give Beloit the early lead. With McCambley on cruise control, the Snappers rolled that 1-0 lead all the way into the eighth.

In the top of the eighth inning, McCambley was pulled for Josh Simpson who gave up a one-out double to drop the team's perfect game. Beloit added two more runs on a Connor Scott double and a Banfield single. Zack Leban picked up his second save by striking out the side in the ninth.
McCambley earned his first pro win with those seven-perfect innings.
