The Stinging Keeps Trending in Wrong Direction
The Normal Nutcrackers topped the The Stinging Larvae, 7-6, in TML R action at The Queen. The standout performance belonged to Normal pitcher and Santiago, Dominican Republic, native Jose Villalvazo. In 7.1 innings, Villalvazo surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3. He allowed 3 runs. With the win, Normal goes to 22-29, while the Larvae fall to 9-41.

It could have been a different outcome for Normal, had it not been for Willie Perez, the 17-year old catcher . Perez contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Normal up, 2-0.

Said losing manager Jose Correa: "The only way to escape your past is to be better than your past."
