Bradshaw blasts two homers, Beloit falls short in 10

EASTLAKE, OH -- For the first time this season, a Sky Carp ripped two homers in a game, as Davis Bradshaw went yard twice, but Beloit fell short in a thriller, 5-4 to Lake County in 10 innings on Friday night.

For the third straight game, the Sky Carp struck first, scoring on an Ynmanol Marinez RBI single in the second inning.

The Captains jumped in front in the third using a Chase DeLauter 2-RBI double that made it 2-1.

In the fifth, Beloit snatched the momentum back, as Bradshaw belted a homer to knot the game at 2. Then, a batter later, Torin Montgomery smoked his first High-A homer – a 418 foot shot to left center – to put the Carp ahead 3-2.

After the DeLauter double, Beloit starter Alex Williams did not allow another run on his way to a strong, 5-inning, 6-strikeout performance.

Lake County trailed until the bottom of the seventh, when Victor Planchart reached on an error to open the inning and eventually scored on Milan Tolentino’s game-tying sacrifice fly.

With the game knotted at three in the eighth, Dayan Frias popped a solo homer to right to put the Captains back in front 4-3.

With a large crowd up for grabs and Beloit down to its final two outs, Bradshaw tied the game again with a towering home run to right center – his second of the night and just his third of the season.

After Cristian Charle pitched a scoreless ninth to get the game to extras, Beloit failed to score their automatic runner in the top of the 10th, stranding Tanner Allen on second base.

Charle returned for the bottom of the 10th and retired the first two batters, getting the Sky Carp within an out of the 11th. Then, Nate Furman flared a shallow line drive to left, Bradshaw made a sliding attempt, briefly caught the ball but couldn’t hang on and Tolentino scored the winning run.

Beloit will look to keep a series split in play when the series resumes on Saturday night at 7:00 ET. Karson Milbrandt, the Marlins No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is scheduled to start.
