Low A - Beloit 3 Quad Cities 1
Teoscar Hernandez was 3 for 4 with a double, and Carlos Correa raised his average to .275 with 2 more hits and an rbi, but it wasn't enough as the River Bandits (23-17) were just 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Snappers, 3-1. Jordan Jankowski struck out a season high 7 in 4 innings of relief, but Brian Holmes allowed a pair of solo home runs in his 4 innings, and that was more the River Bandits offense could overcome.
