The Cedar Rapids Kernels beat the Kane County Cougars, 9-4. Cedar Rapids pitcher and Tinaquillo, Venezuela, native Jesús Vargas led the way. Vargas, now 2-1, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Josh Peterson earned save number 3 this season.

The tide might have turned in the bottom of the fourth, had not Jesús Vargas made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Cougars trailing 3-1, he retired Mike Cole when the Kane County shortstop hit into a double play.

The loss puts Kane County at 6-7.
