Vargas Swings Nutcrackers to 8-6 Win
The Normal Nutcrackers topped the Sedona Sabercats, 8-6, with youngster Dave Vargas playing a key role. Vargas was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Nutcrackers in the win. Steve Carpenter was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 12 of 16 save opportunities. The 4th-place Nutcrackers go to 36-32.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Miguel Rangel? The Normal left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Nutcrackers on top, 3-0. For the game, Rangel had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Normal skipper Arnold Layne.
