River Bandits Slip Past Burlington, 4-3
Despite a great performance by Burlington third baseman Claude Palma, the Quad Cities River Bandits defeated the Bees by the score of 4-3 at Community Field. Palma went 5-7 with a double, 4 singles, and a walk. The Bees have now dropped 6 straight.

Quad Cities needed the clutch hitting of Eric Newton to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the 14th inning to put the River Bandits on top, 4-3. For the game, Newton had 1 home run and 1 single in 7 at-bats.

Newton told reporters after the game: "This one was touch and go, but we were able to put it in the win column."
