Bandits starter Anthony Ferrara (6-4) allowed only two runs on two hits in six innings of work Wednesday night against Cedar Rapids. However, the Bandit offense managed to muster only one run on five hits and the Kernels beat the Bandits 7-1 to take the rubber match of the series.

Ferrara was relieved by Angel DeJesus. The right-hander left in the eighth inning after allowing two runs in the eighth without recording an out. DeJesus went officially one inning allowing two runs on one hit while walking two. Iden Nazario made his first appearance of the season for the Bandits and went 1.2 innings allowing three runs on three hits including a three-run homer in the ninth inning to David Harris (1-for-4, 3 RBI). Dean Kiekhefer replaced Nazario in the ninth inning with two outs, and retired one batter with a strikeout.

Offensively, the Bandits struggled for the second game in a row. Chris Edmondson went 2-for-3 with a double and scored a run. Geoff Klein went 2-for-3 as well, and had an RBI. Victor Sanchez got the only other hit in the game and went 1-for-3 with a single. Kolten Wong went 0-for-4 in the game but reached base once on an error by the first baseman.

Ferrara was opposed by Cedar Rapids starter Heath Nichols (4-5) who pitched a complete game. The right-hander went the full nine innings allowing one run on five hits while striking out three. Nichols also walked two in the game.

The Bandits open a new series tomorrow with the Clinton LumberKings on Blood Center Week. The Bandits will send Ryan Copeland (0-0, 3.43) to oppose Clinton starter George Mieses (1-9, 5.58). First pitch is set for 7 p.m. at Modern Woodmen Park.
