The Normal Nutcrackers beat the Easton Caterpillars, 20-13, at Knockout Stadium by Brooklyn Decker.

The Nutcrackers improved their record to 31-43 with the win over Easton.

With Normal leading 7-2 in the top of the third, Flores came up to bat against Easton pitcher Cody Ardis. Flores hit a fastball to left for a 3-run home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Nutcrackers on top, 10-2.

"We've hit a lull," said Easton manager Mekonnen Asani.
