CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA The Cedar Rapids Kernels defeated the Burlington Bees 4-3 in a comeback effort Sunday afternoon at Perfect Game Field at
Veterans Memorial Stadium. Chad Christensen hit the go-ahead homerun in the bottom of the eighth to give the Kernels the decisive lead. Jared
Wilson pitched two scoreless frames and picked up his second victory of the season out of the bullpen. Mitch Garver nailed his seventh long ball of
the year while Jason Kanzler and Engelb Vielma each added one run-batted-in.

For the second consecutive day Burlington stung first in the ballgame.

In the top of the second an Exicardo Cayones single into left field combined with a throwing error from Kernels Joel Licon allowed two runs to cross
the plate. Angel Rosa later drove in Cayones on a sacrifice fly to make it a 3-0 Burlington lead heading to the bottom of two.

The Kernels cut it to 3-1 in the second inning when Mitch Garver was plated by a Jason Kanzler fielders choice ground ball.

Tanner Vavra smacked a double to open the bottom of the third for Cedar Rapids and was brought home by an Engelb Vielma sacrifice fly to make it
a 3-2 Burlington lead.

game at 3-3.

stint.

Burlington hurler Clint Sharp also finished his start after six innings while allowing three runs. Sharp gave up seven hits and struck out four during
his eleventh opener for the Bees.

Reliever Trevor Foss (1-4) toed the rubber for Burlington to start the seventh inning. The right-hander allowed one run and two hits while walking
