From the game notes of the Cedar Rapids Kernels...
HOME ALL THE WAY: A Kernels win or Kane County loss would pretty much guarantee the Kernels home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Peoria and the Kernels have the best records in the MWL West and meet in the first round and the Western Division has home field in the MWL Championship Series.

They dropped two of three in both Cedar Rapids and Lansing but are looking to sweep the series here in Wisconsin. The Cougars won yesterday, 3-1, for their first series win out of the last seven sets. Mike Spina scored twice and had three hits, including a solo homer, Tyler Ladendorf collected his first RBI as a Cougar and Chris Berroa drove in a run to lead the offense. Murphy Smith tossed four shutout innings as the starter, Scott Deal grabbed the win with two scoreless innings of relief and Daniel Thomas posted his first save. The Cougars now seek their first sweep of the year.
