Davalan’s two homers not enough for Loons
The Loons as a team hit five home runs, and that still wasn’t enough to beat the Beloit Sky Carp away from home
GLENDALE, ARIZONA - MARCH 20, 2026: Charles Davalan #88 of the Los Angeles Dodgers runs out a foul ball during the sixth inning of a spring training game against the San Diego Padres at Camelback Ranch on March 20, 2026 in Glendale, Arizona.

Player of the day The Great Lakes Loons’ loss against the Beloit Sky Carp didn’t result from a lack of offensive firepower, primarily led by the efforts of Charles Davalan and Jose Meza, both homering twice for the first time this season.
In fact, Meza, who was the Loons DH on the evening, had only one home run the whole year prior to this game. Meza’s performance was more boom or bust, with him striking out the other three times he didn’t homer, going two for five. Meanwhile, Davalan added another hit on top of his two long balls and continues to impress since being selected with the 41st pick of last year’s Draft.
