June 21, 2012 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Cedar Rapids Kernels News Release
Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Kernels Foundation will present Mack Mattke as the winner of the 2012 Nick Adenhart Memorial Scholarship before the Kernels game with Beloit on Sunday, June 24th.
Mack is a 2012 graduate of Xavier HS where his school activities, academic accomplishments and baseball accomplishments were quite impressive, making him an excellent choice for the scholarship. The Mattke's were a Kernels Host Family in 2006, giving Mack the opportunity to know Nick while he was with the Kernels. Mack plans on attending Purdue University to study engineering and play baseball.
Nick Adenhart was a bright young pitcher who played for the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2006, and was a rising star in the Los Angeles Angels organization. Only hours after Nick's 2009 season debut on the mound for the Angels, a drunk driver tragically killed him on April 9, 2009 at age 22.
Nick's family would like to honor him by awarding a $1,000 scholarship in his memory. The Kernels Foundation is privileged to administer the scholarship on behalf of Nick's family.
The Kernels begin the second half of the 2012 MWL season with a six game home stand starting Friday, June 22nd at 6:35 pm with games against Beloit and Burlington.
Fans can enjoy all the action with Morgan Hawk on the radio home of Kernels baseball, 1450 KMRY AM, 93.1 KMRY FM, or listen on-line at www.kmryradio.com, or www.kernels.com .
