Beloit Snappers earn sweep

BELOIT — The Beloit Snappers doubled their pleasure Thursday.

Playing two games due to Wednesday’s rainout, Beloit swept a Midwest League doubleheader from Lansing at Pohlman Field. The Snappers won game one, 2-1, before four pitchers combined on a two-hitter in a 4-1 win in game two.

Stephen Wickens’ two-run single in the second proved to be the difference in game one. Jason Wheeler (11-4) picked up the win in the opener, while Corey Williams earned his 14th save with a scoreless inning.

Miguel Sano hit his 20th home run of the season and drove in four runs for Beloit in game two.

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