CAROL STREAM, Ill. - Beloit and Wheaton (IL) combined for 27 runs on 30 hits Tuesday night, in a 15-12 Beloit victory. That snaps a three-game losing streak against Wheaton, with the Buccaneers' last win in the series coming in 2015.

With the wind swirling all day, Beloit had a rough start to the day, allowing a two-run and three-run homer in the first inning. The Buccaneers then got back into the game with a five-run second inning, which featured a two-run single by Matt O'Leary, while Jack Alport, Garrison Ferone, and Connor Vogel also each drove in a run in that frame. The Buccaneers took their first lead of the game in the third, which saw a two-run single off the bat of Alport, who would later score on a throwing error to put Beloit up 8-5.

After Wheaton scored two more runs in the bottom of the third, Deven Irwin singled home a run for the Buccaneers. Wheaton scored another run in the fourth, but Beloit distanced itself with three runs in the top of the fifth, scoring two of those on a double from Ferone. Irwin added a two-run double of his own in the seventh, in addition to a bases loaded walk by Miles Souza to put the Buccaneers up 15-8, as they would coast to victory.

Beloit finished with 12 hits, with four coming off the bat of Ferone, who finished with three doubles, just one shy of his own school record. O'Leary added three hits, while Irwin recorded two base knocks. Tommy Murray (1-1) earned the win, allowing zero earned runs on three hits, while striking out two in two innings of relief.

The Buccaneers will now get ready for conference season, as they'll host Grinnell College on Saturday at ABC Supply Stadium in Beloit, Wis. The first game of that double-dip will begin at Noon.
