Cedar Rapids Kernels News Release
June 29, 2006 - The Cedar Rapids Kernels struck for 3 runs and three hits in the third inning but only managed two more hits the rest of the game as they fell to Dayton, 4-3, in front of a 100.7 The Fox Buck-A-Cup Thursday crowd on 2,950 at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Flint Wipke hit his seventh triple of the season and second in as many games to score Madison Edwards and Brad Coon. Wipke then scored on a Hainley Statia RBI single to make the score 3-0 Kernels.
