Kernels blank Bandits, 1-0, in 11

DAVENPORT - The Cedar Rapids Kernels got more good pitching Tuesday and defeated the Quad Cities River Bandits, 1-0, in 11 innings in a Midwest League game before 2,079 fans at Modern Woodmen Park.

T.J. White's sacrifice fly drove in Zack Larson with the game's only run, giving the Kernels the victory in the series opener. The win snapped a three-game losing streak.

Larson led off the 11th inning with a single to left-center, his second hit of the day. Two straight errors by Quad Cities pitcher Joe Musgrove on bunts loaded the bases. White then lifted the sacrifice fly to right, scoring Larson from third base.

Cam Booser (1-0) earned the victory. The southpaw yielded two hits and two walks in two scoreless innings while striking out three. Trevor Hildenberger recorded his second save with a scoreless 11th inning, striking out one and allowing one hit.

Musgrove (3-1) suffered the loss for the River Bandits. The right-hander allowed an unearned run on four hits in six innings of relief. He struck out one and walked none.

Both starting pitchers recorded no-decisions. Bryan Radziewski tossed five shutout innings in the start for Quad Cities, allowing just two hits while striking out four. Jared Wilson went five innings for Cedar Rapids, allowing no runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two.

Randy LeBlanc threw three scoreless innings of relief for Cedar Rapids. The right-hander allowed two hits and struck out three.

Zack Granite and Nick Gordon extended their hitting streaks. Granite has a team-best eight game hitting streak while Gordon has a personal-best seven game hit streak.

The series at Quad Cities continues Wednesday at 7 p.m.. Mat Batts (2-0, 1.47) starts for the Kernels while Daniel Mengden (1-1, 2.84) takes the hill for the River Bandits.

The Kernels return home on Friday at 6:35 p.m. against Clinton.
