Biddix Blasts Whitecaps, Kernels Take Game 5, 12-4
Cedar Rapids Kernels catcher Joe Biddix was the difference-maker at Fifth Third Ballpark, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the Round 2. The Kernels took the 12-4 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Biddix hit a 3-run home run off Mike DeRieux. It propelled the Kernels into the lead, 3-2.

"Everything is so stressful now," Biddix said. "I was just trying not to trip on my way up to the plate."

The next game is set to be played for Wednesday, September 21st , 2107 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids.
