Joe Benson led off the third inning with a double down the left field line. Singleton was then able to bunt him over to third. Romero struck out for the second out. Parmelee then foulded out to third baseman Christian Vitters who made a great play near the stands to get the ball.
The one run that Banwart would give up was in the fifth inning. Lehmann led off then inning with a double to left. Dolenc got Lehmann to third with a ground out to first. Benson hit a fly to right, to allow Lehmann to tag up and score.
Kane County's offense was just good enough to score three runs on five hits. In the second inning, Dowling led off with a double to left. One out later, Vitters was hit by a pitch. One out later, Todd Johnson singled to right to drive home Dowling. The rightfielder overran the ball which would allow Vitters to score.
