We'll get caught up as soon as we can, but it may take a few days.
Pat Dean's fine pitching goes for naught. The Lookouts hang on. Miracle bats and Mat Batts lead to an easy win. Cedar Rapids gets only a Kernel of offense. Andro Cutura's fine pitching also goes for naught. A seven-run inning carries the GCL Twins. Two four-run innings carry the DSL Twins.
