Peoria Decked, 8-3, by Kernels
Conditions were not ideal but Cedar Rapids and Peoria were able to put their game in the books.

Behind a solid performance from center fielder Justin Ballantine, the Cedar Rapids Kernels defeated the Peoria Chiefs, 8-3. Ballantine went 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Kernels. Prince Roper, the winner, goes to 2-3. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with no walks and 4 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Cedar Rapids used a clutch at-bat from Jesse Fales to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Kernels ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Ballantine.

The win has Cedar Rapids at 26-39.
