The Cedar Rapids Kernels beat the Clinton LumberKings by a score of 5-1. Cedar Rapids third baseman Emilio Garces deserved the lion's share of the credit. Garces went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Kernels. The winning pitcher was Alex Ontiveros. He's now 1-2. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits for the Kernels. The win puts the Kernels at 32-48, while the LumberKings drop to 30-50.

Cedar Rapids relied on the hitting of Juan Vargas to pick up the win. The first baseman ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the fifth inning to put the Kernels on top, 2-0. For the game, Vargas had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Kernels manager Cedric McGillis. "This one was nice to get."
