Nutcrackers Keep Losing, Drop 17-5 Contest to Montreal
The 2062 season is getting uglier for Normal.

The Montreal Cardinals used the hitting of left fielder Tim McCay to subdue the Normal Nutcrackers, 17-5. For the game, McCay was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. Montreal starter Xavier Matias was credited with the win after throwing 99 pitches over 5 innings. His record now stands at 4-3.

Benito Carrasco, who is rated as the 96th best prospect by BNN, chipped in a grand slam home run for Montreal in the bottom of the third. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 5 runs batted in.

"This game is going to humble you at times and you've got to man up and deal with it," said Normal manager Arnold Layne.

Normal is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 8 in a row.
