The Clinton LumberKings fell to the Normal CornBelters in a one-sided affair, 10-4, at NelsonCorp Field.
Last week, the LumberKings had multiple games canceled, and manager Trevor Burkhart said it “100 percent” played a factor in the result against the CornBelters. Clinton also just traveled eight hours the day before to come back home.
