Merrick Spins Gem, Peoria Wins
Peoria took on Cedar Rapids in front of a lively crowd.

Peoria picked up a win at Veterans Memorial Stadium, bumping off the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 4-1. Pitcher Mike Merrick was a major reason the Chiefs emerged victorious. Andres Perez collected save number 7.

Merrick, who dominated for Peoria, earned the victory to move to 2-0. He was in control the whole game, scattering 4 hits over 8.2 innings, while striking out 8. Cedar Rapids batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Merrick said.

With the win over Cedar Rapids, the Chiefs improved to 54-55.
