The Normal Nutcrackers topped the Victoria Totems, 3-2, with left fielder Johnny Bench Jr. playing a big role. Bench Jr. went 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk for the Nutcrackers in the win. Normal occupies 4th place in the TMLR Fred McGriff Division at 42-44.

Adrian Diaz had a productive trip to the plate with no one out in the top of the fourth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring single, helping Normal to the win.

"There are no moral victories," said losing manager Albert Giles.
