Kernels Rally but Peoria Tops Kernels in Seventh
Kernels frompage 10 63 win, continued his torrid early-season hitting with two doubles that plated two runs. Jovino Carvajal's three-run homer staked the Kernels to a 3-0 lead. Morris doubled in the third to cut the margin. Emilio Mendez and Pico doubled in the seventh to pull Peoria within 3-2 and chase Kernels pitcher Williard. Morris tied the game with a double off Shawn Slade, and Lawless criticized Slade's pitch. The Kernels must be more aggressive at bat. Orlando Lopez earned the win in relief, Shawn Hill notching the save.
