Nutcrackers Continue Hot Start to Season With Win
St. Paul shortstop Eddie Joost had a good game, even if his team did not. The Grognards dropped a 8-5 decision to Normal at The Thunderdome. Joost went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Normal reliever Josh Moss picked up the win to move to 2-1. Danny Moreno suffered the loss. Andy Kelly earned save number 8.

Had Mike Henry not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Henry hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Nutcrackers.

Henry told the Normal Daily: "Don't care what other people think. Mike knows who Mike is."

Normal is now 25-13, 2 games up in the Cecil Fielder League Fred McGriff Division.
