		| Nutcrackers Best Varmits in Pitching Duel |  
		| Normal registered a win at The Nutcracker Suite by beating the Yuma Varmits, 2-0. Pitcher Alex Saxton was one reason why the Nutcrackers triumphed. Saxton, now 6-2, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing no runs. The winning continues for Normal, with the latest triumph making it 8 straight. 
 The Nutcrackers got a big at-bat from second baseman Clifton Eggert. For the game, Eggert was 1 for 3 with a home run. In the bottom of the fourth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo  home run. His 10th home run of the season gave Normal a 1-0 lead.
 
 "The effort we put into this one paid off," Saxton said.
