Kernels 3-0 Losers to Chiefs
Led by 21-year-old Corey Payne, the Peoria Chiefs knocked off the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 3-0. Payne was 2-5 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Chiefs. Picking up the save was fireballing right-hander John Dunn. Peoria is sitting pretty at 52-25.

Peoria used a well-timed hit by Cesar Rojas to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Chiefs ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Payne told the Peoria Bulletin.
