Cedar Rapids Kernels News Release


Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels continue to enjoy playing at Perfect Game Field as they notched their league-high 44th home win in a 4-1 victory over the Burlington Bees on Thursday night. Jean Segura and Jose Jimenez both homered and Kernels starter Tyler Kerher (6-5) allowed an unearned run over seven strong innings.

Segura's hot bat continued throughout the game as he went 3-4 with a double, needing only a triple to hit for the cycle, and was the only Kernel with more than one hit in the game. Michael Wing was 1-3 with a triple and RBI and Matt Long was 1-4 with an RBI.

Kehrer allowed an unearned run in the fifth inning, giving up only three hits in the game with three walks and five strikeouts. Carson Andrew struck out one over an inning of relief and David Carpenter worked the ninth for his seventh save. Burlington starter Sugar Ray Marimon (2-6) allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits and struck out four over 5 IP in taking the loss. Whit Merrifield went 2-4 with an RBI for the Bees.

The home MWL regular season wraps up on Friday night when the Kernels take on Burlington at 6:35 pm. Kernels GM Jack Roeder is retiring after 20 years with the Kernels and so it's Jack Roeder Appreciation Night! We're looking to 'Pack the Park' for his final regular season home game, and the first 1,000 fans through the gates when they open at 5 pm receive a free Jack Roeder Coffee Mug. The Large Midgets will be on hand to perform before and after the game and the Kernels will wear special 'Roeder' jerseys that will be sold during the game via a silent auction with the proceeds to benefit a charity of Jack's choice.

It's also Rock 108 Progressive Beer Night as 16 oz. draft beer is just $1 beginning at 5:30 pm and goes up a dollar each hour until reaching full price. Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.kernels.com, or by calling the Kernels Ticket Office at 896-7560 after 10 am on Friday.
