Kernels See Playoff Hopes Fade After Rough Road Trip
Cedar Rapids Cedar Rapids Kernels playoff chances slipped after a 2-6 road run last week. They split with South Bend then were swept by Peoria, dropping to 19-24 in the Midwest League second half and 5 1/2 games behind Beloit for the final Western Division playoff spot. Jordan Renz hit a three run homer in the first and a solo shot in the sixth to spark a 4 4 tie, but the Kernels could not sustain the rally. Renz, batting second in RBIs, remains among league leaders while manager Bobby Magallanes urged focus on finishing strong and not scoreboard watching.
