Pitching takes over in Beloit victory

By GAZETTE STAFF Friday, July 29, 2011

BURLINGTON, IOWA — One night after the offense produced 21 runs, pitching was the story for the Beloit Snappers on Thursday.

Three pitchers held Burlington to five hits in a 4-1 Beloit win in Midwest League action.

Manuel Soliman (5-7) went seven strong innings to pick up the win. Jose Gonzalez pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 10th save.

Beloit got all the runs it needed in the top of the fifth as Daniel Santana drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Reggie Williams doubled in another.

The two teams wrap up the three-game series tonight.
