— The Beloit Snappers notched a second straight Midwest League baseball win for the first time this season Friday night.

The Snappers rallied for three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning en route to a 7-5 win over the Quad Cities River Bandits at Pohlman Field.

Beloit trailed 5-1 in the fourth but cut the deficit to two on Ozzie Lewis’ RBI single and Alexander Soto’s run-scoring double.

The Snappers took the lead for good in the sixth. Lewis scored the eventual winning run on a wild pitch.

Danny Rondon (1-0) picked up the win in relief, while Matt Williams earned his first save.

Beloit begins a four-game series at Kane County today at 5 p.m.
