Kernels show some pop against Beloit Snappers

BELOIT — The second half of the Midwest League baseball season is shaping up like the disappointing first half for the Beloit Snappers.

Beloit (2-4 in the second half) managed only six hits off three Cedar Rapids pitchers.

Daniel Berlind (2-9) took the loss.
