The Bandits scored in every inning on their way to a thrilling come from behind victory.
Joe Kelly allowed nine runs, eight earned, on 10 hits over 3.1 innings. Despite committing a season-high seven errors, Quad Cities rallied from a large 7-1 hole to get him off the hook for a no-decision. The River Bandits scored a run in each of the first three innings to chip away at the Kernel lead before they exploded for four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Devin Goodwin highlighted the inning with a bases clearing double to put the Bandits right back in the ballgame.
