Pederson goes 3-for-4 as Nutcrackers Squeeze Past Montreal
Michael Pederson helped his team muscle past the Montreal Cardinals, 9-8. In the game, the Normal designated hitter was 3 for 4 with 3 doubles and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The 4th-place Nutcrackers improved to 26-25.

The Nutcrackers got an important contribution from pinch hitter Arturo Bernard, who in the top of the ninth hit a 2-2 fastball into right for a run-scoring single. It was his 31st hit of the season and put the Nutcrackers ahead, 9-8.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Normal manager Seb Ising.
