CEDAR RAPIDS, IA â The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers pitchers had kept the Cedar Rapids Kernels hitters in check during Wisconsinâs four-game winning streak during the six-game series. The Kernels had scored just four runs on eight hits during the Wisconsin wins in the series. That changed on Sunday afternoon at Perfect Game Field. Wisconsin outhit Cedar Rapids 7-6, but two of the Kernels hits were grand slam home runs and those eight runs on two swings of the bat were the margin of victory in the 10-2 win over the Timber Rattlers.
The Kernels (10-14) got on the scoreboard first. Wisconsin starting pitcher Justin Jarvis had two outs with a runner at first in the bottom of the third inning. He gave up a hit to Seth Gray and walked Gabe Snyder on four pitches to bring Wander Javier to the plate with the bases loaded.
