Logan Schafer was 2-for-4 and is batting .324. Jorge Polanco was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk and is batting .322.

Randy Rosario had a fine game, going 6.2 innings and giving up just one run on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Nick Gordon and T. J. White were each 2-for-4 and combined for four of the five Miracle hits, all singles.
PEORIA 7, CEDAR RAPIDS 6 IN PEORIA
