Beloit beats Peoria in a rout

Argenis Raga and Tim Proudfoot also drove in two runs apiece. Beloit was 6-for-13 with runners in scoring position.

Junior Mendez allowed six hits in five innings and struck out four to earn his third win of the season. Cody Stull and Michael Fagan combined to pitch four innings of one-hit, shutout relief.
