Hot Kernels knock off South Bend
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - New guys keep helping the Cedar Rapids Kernels win ballgames.
It happened again Wednesday night.
Alex Real went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs and Edgar Corcino also had two RBIs as the streaking Kernels topped South Bend, 9-5, in a Midwest League game before 3,969 fans at Four Winds Field in South Bend.
Real and Corcino joined the Kernels from Extended Spring Training recently and helped the club raise its record to 35-18, just two games behind Quad Cities in the Western Division.
