The Burlington Bees spotted the Cedar Rapids Kernels a 6-0 lead after the first inning before battling back and scoring three runs in the top of the ninth inning for a 10-8 Midwest League victory Friday at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
With the game knotted at 7, Chris Lubanski led off the ninth with a triple off of reliever Jesse Smith. An error allowed Angel Sanchez to reach second and plated Lubanski to break the tie. Mitch Maier's single then scored Sanchez. Maier advanced to third on an error and scored on Smith's wild pitch to give the Bees a thrre run cushion.
The two unearned runs proved to be important as the Kernels came up in the bottom of the frame.
Kahi Kaanoi, coming in for Robbie McClellan gave up two hits and walked a batter to load the bases with no outs. With one, out Brandon Wood singled to right, scoring Matt Pali and cutting the Burlington lead to two.
Dusty Dossett took over for Kaanoi, striking out Caleb Maher and Tommy Duenas looking to preserve the Bees first win since Saturday at the Quad Cities, a span of five games.
McClellan earned his frist win, working four innings and scattering four hits. He struck out six.
Maier went 3 for 5 for Burlington, Lubanski, Sanchez and Brian McFall each tallied two hits as the Bees totaled 14 hits in the game.
