Clinton jumped out to a 5-0 lead on Saturday and held the Snappers tying run at third base to break Beloit's string of five straight wins over the LumberKings. The one-run loss was the 40th total ballgame decided by one run this season for Beloit.
Mercedes nearly cleared the left field wall in the second inning, but the deep fly ball banged off the wall for his team-high 23rd double. He finished the night 2-for-3 with a walk.
Altamirano allowed a season-high nine hits to the LumberKings as he labored through five innings. A slow-rolling ground ball hit by
Beloit's defense converted their 116th double play and 46th outfield assist on Saturday and continue to lead the Midwest League in both categories. Persico was the outfielder credited with the assist from right field, his league-best 15th on the campaign.
