The Cedar Rapids Kernels got a good effort from starter Brendan Simpson in defeating the Burlington Bees at Community Field. The final score was 2-0. Eric Mayfield earned his 5th save in 5 chances. The win for the Kernels lifted their record to 61-47.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Vic Rosa? The 19-year old third baseman Rosa stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put Cedar Rapids up, 2-0. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Simpson.
