Wade hurt as Kernels fall to QC

DAVENPORT - The Cedar Rapids Kernels lost a ballgame and lost another ballplayer Wednesday night.

Second baseman Logan Wade dislocated his left shoulder when he dove for a ground-ball single in the second inning. He landed awkwardly and left the game in pain.

The Kernels lost to the Quad Cities River Bandits, 7-3, in a Midwest League game before 1,182 fans at Modern Woodmen Park.

"It's dislocated," Kernels Manager Jake Mauer said after the game. "No broken bones, but they couldn't pop it back in. They had to put him under.

"He's still at the hospital. They'll put it in a sling and he'll see our doctor tomorrow."

Assuming Wade is placed on the Disabled List, he'll become the sixth Kernel on the DL after just 32 games of the season. Pitcher Randy Rosario, catcher Michael Quesada, second baseman Tanner Vavra, outfielder Zack Granite and outfielder Jeremias Pineda are currently on the Disabled List.

The River Bandits (14-18) scored four runs in the eighth inning to snap a 3-3 tie and defeat the Kernels (18-14) for the second straight game.

 

Kohl Stewart pitched five shutout innings for Cedar Rapids and left the game with a 3-0 lead. he struck out six batters and allowed five hits.

The River Bandits tied the game, 3-3, with three runs off Derrick Penilla in the sixth inning. Penilla joined the Kernels Wednesday from Extended Spring Training and had trouble throwing strikes. He did not allow any hits, but walked four batters in two-thirds of an inning.

The Bandits scored four runs in the eighth inning against Yorman Landa and Hudson Boyd, who surrendered two runs apiece. Landa (3-1) took the loss.

Cedar Rapids plays at Wisconsin Thursday night.
