Kernels Get Thrilling 7-6 Win
Thanks in large part to first baseman Mickael Gentil, the Cedar Rapids Kernels clipped the Clinton LumberKings, 7-6, in 11 innings. Gentil was 3 for 6 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs. The win was credited to Orlando Rodríguez in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Don Brown took the loss. After today's action, Cedar Rapids sits at 51-33; Clinton slips to 38-46.

Cedar Rapids used the timely hitting of Bobby Hamilton to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Kernels on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Hamilton.
