BELOIT — At ABC Supply Stadium, the stoplight is always green. That’s because the Beloit Sky Carp have worked hard to make their baserunners some of the best in all of baseball, and those kings of thievery are showing time and time again why they are allowed to take off anytime they please. kAmQ(6 H2?E @FC :56?E:EJ 2D 2? @C82?:K2E:@?

BELOIT — For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Beloit Sky Carp’s offense was scuffling. After being limited to two hits and falling 3-0 to the Quad Cities River Bandits in Tuesday afternoon’s series opener, the Sky Carp found themselves tied up at one with the visitors heading into the bottom of the seventh. kAm%@E2= ?F>36C @7 9:ED FA E@ E92E A@:?En yFDE @?6] p>@F?E @7 H2=<Dn %H@]k^AmkAmqFE q6=@:E’D @776?D6 ?6G6C 76=E 2 A2?8 @7 2?I:6EJ] }@E H96?

ROCKTON — Monday’s matchup against NIC-10 rival Harlem immediately presented Hononegah starter Irelyn O’Brien with a mental mountain to climb. Not only did the sophomore pitcher load the bags with a pair of walks and a single, but the umpire called the righty for a pair of illegal pitches throughout the frame as she struggled to use the correct motion with her feet while engaging with the batter. kAmqFE ~’qC:6?

CLINTON — The term “team chemistry” gets thrown around a lot in the world of high school sports. So, when Beloit Turner junior Bronwyn Sherlund says that the Trojans’ track and field team share a bond that is unique, it can be easy to diminish the remark as hyperbole. kAmqFE 2?J 5@F3E6CD 42? =@@< ?@ 7FCE96C E92? uC:52J ?:89E’D r=:?E@?

BELOIT — The lights were never brighter for the Beloit Turner baseball team's pitching staff than they were on Saturday night.

BELOIT — If Beloit Turner baseball head coach Jeff Clowes' motto "Great teams are gritty" is true, than the Trojans can certainly be considered stupendous. Turner held off East Troy and its rally attempts time and time again on Thursday evening with clutch pitching and timely hitting on its way to a 7-6 win in Rock Valley Conference crossover action at a cold and gray YMCA Youth Sports Complex. kAmQ(6 H6C6 ;FDE C6=6?E=6DD[Q ;F?:@C r2CDE@? y24@3D@?

SOUTH BELOIT — The South Beloit baseball team has struggled so mightily against Northeastern Athletic Conference powerhouse Harvest Christian in recent memory that head coach Dominic Strangman, who was hired in 2023, said that the matchups have never even went seven full innings in his tenure. The Lions ended each game via the mercy rule as longtime struggling South Beloit struggled to keep the showdowns competitive. kAm%92E :D F?E:= %F6D52J ?:89E]k^AmkAms@H? c\_ :?

CLINTON — Tuesday night's track and field triangular hosted by Clinton High School proved to be a test of trust for Beloit Turner's Cherish Smith, both in her teammates and herself. Smith's faith trial passed with flying colors on both ends as belief in herself helped her place first in the 200 meters and the triple jump while confidence in her teammates help her anchor the winning 4x200 relay. kAmQxE 766=D 8@@5 E@ @77:4:2==J 86E E96 D62D@?

CLINTON — The Clinton softball team threw its group of scrappy freshmen straight into the deep end of the pool to kick off the season, but the frosh crew proved to simply be too competitive to start drowning or treading water. Instead, the Cougars’ first-year players thrived in new waters and have helped ignite their squad to a 4-2 start to the season. kAm“(6 DE2CE65 7@FC 7C6D9>6? :? @?6 82>6 2?5 92G6 366?

ROCKTON — Beloit Turner baseball head coach Jeff Clowes was able to cross off pretty much every single item on his checklist for Saturday morning’s season opener against Hononegah. Pitchers attacking the strike zone and holding steady from the mound? Check. Players working strong at-bats and finding ways to bring home runners? Check. Fielders limiting damaging miscues and doing the little things right on defense? Check. kAmp?5 E96 C6DF=En p?
