Gonsalves strong in 1st Kernels start
DAYTON, Ohio - Stephen Gonsalves threw six strong innings to make his Cedar Rapids Kernels debut a successful one in a 4-1 win Sunday afternoon over the Dayton Dragons in Midwest League baseball.
Gonsalves joined the club from Rookie-level Elizabethton and gave up just three hits and a walk in six shutout innings. He struck out six and picked up the win.
Brandon Bixler and Dallas Gallant finished up, with Gallant pitching the ninth for the save. Offensively, J.D. Williams and Logan Wade had home runs for the Kernels (54-51 overall and 20-15 in the second half).
Cedar Rapids concludes its six-game road trip with one more game Monday night at Dayton. The Kernels have won 14 of their last 17 games.
The affiliate switch to the Minnesota Twins has afforded new merchandising opportunities for the Cedar Rapids Kernels as the old Angels logo is fading away from Veterans Memorial Stadium. ¬ Photo taken Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013 in Cedar Rapids. (Chris Earl/The Gazette-KCRG)
