Peoria broke through against Chris Vallimont in the bottom of the fifth. Cedeno tied the game at one when he blasted his first homerun of the season to right field to lead off the inning.
The Chiefs walked off in the ninth after loading the bases with two outs, Nootbaar and Brandon Riley started the inning with a pair of singles to put runners on first and second with no outs. After two strikeouts, Brendan Donovan walked to load the bases, and Cedeno hit a hard line drive over the shortstop's head to score Nootbaar from third and give the Chiefs their first walkoff win of the season.
