Cedar Rapids Kernels News Release
Davenport, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels road woes continued on Tuesday night at Modern Woodman Park in Davenport as they lost a six run lead in a 16-10 series finale loss to the Quad Cities River Bandits. Quad Cities scored in every inning as Devin Goodwin went 3-4 with a double, HR and 8 RBI.
The Kernels were unable to take advantage of seven River Bandit errors and issued 10 walks in the loss. Reliever Bryant George (0-1) took the loss, allowing four runs on two hits with three walks and one strikeout over 0.2 IP. The Kernels had Quad Cities and starter Joe Kelly on the ropes early as they roughed Kelly up for nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits over 3.1 IP.
But back-to-back four run innings by the River Bandits erased a 9-3 Kernels lead after five innings. Rainel Rosario was 1-4 with a HR, 2 RBI and three runs scored as Luis Mateo went 3-4 with an RBI and four runs scored. Reliever Chris Corrigan (3-0) picked up the win, allowing an unearned run over 2.2 innings.
