Veterans Memorial Stadium played host to some exciting baseball.

The Cedar Rapids Kernels took Great Lakes pitcher Tommy Murchie's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The final score had Cedar Rapids getting past the Loons, 3-2. Murchie went 5.1 innings and allowed no runs, striking out 6. With the victory, the Kernels upped their record to 56-43.

Spike Ladner was the walk-off hero for Cedar Rapids. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Kernels second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This place was jumping at the end," Ladner said.
