MARION - The Normal CornBelters, presented by Illinois Corn Farmers, lost a pitchers' duel on Wednesday night to the Southern Illinois Miners 3-0 at Rent One Park.
The Miners entered the scoring column in the second inning when Chad Maddox led off with a double, and after a walk to Ken Gregory, scored on a single off pitcher Tyler Lavigne's foot into left field.
The hosts put two more on the board in the third when Jake Kaase singled and Cory Harrilchak doubled to lead off the inning and put runners at second and third, and both scored on ground balls to the infield to put the Miners ahead 3-0 going to the fourth inning.
