Quad City River Bandits at Kane County Cougars
April 22nd, 2000
Phillip B. Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva, Illinios

COUGARS WIN 3 IN A ROW

The Cougars have their first three game winning streak of the year.
Marc Sauer started for the Cougars and pitched well, going six innings.
Giving up 3 hits, 1 runs, 1 walk and striking out 1. Sauer retired the first
six Bandits he faced and 9 out of 11 in the first three innings, only giving
up a single and a walk before getting hit with a home run to lead off the fourth.

Gaige Thomas came in and lasted one inning and four batters, giving up two
hits, 2 runs, 3 walks and striking out zero. Joe Sergent and Brandon Bowe
came in for the final two inning and pitched perfectly allowing nothing
while striking out one apiece.

Offensivley the Cougars hit the ball well, Scott Goodman and Paco Ferrand both
homerd. Kevin Hooper, Scott Goodman and Dave Callahan all had two hits.

The big point in the game which can not be ignored was the 8th inning when the River
Bandits had the bases loaded and no out, with one run already in. Joe Sergent came in at that point
and struck out the pitch hitter Yustin Jordan. Forced Matt Scanlan to hit into a fiedler's choice which
scored a run then had B.J. Garbe hit the ball back to Sergent who threw the ball to Callahan at
first to get out of the jam.

The scoring started in the 3rd for the Cougars when with one out Luis Ugueto singeld to
left. Ugueto then was caught trying to steal second. Chip Ambres then singled to left, Ambres succesfully
stole second. Kevin Hooper hit a liner over the center fielders head to drive home Ambres.
Hooper would end up with a double. Then Scott Goodman hit a shot onto the deck in right field.

The Bandits would answer in the top of the next inning when Terry Tiffe lead off the inning with
a home run.

The Cougars would get more in the bottom of the inning when on a catcher's interference call
Kelley Washington was awarded first base. Dave Callahan then doubled to left. Matt Frick hit into
a fielder's choice with Frick being out at third. Washington however would score.

The train kept on rolling in the 5th when with one out Kevin Hooper singled to left.
Scott Goodman followed with another sinlgle to left. After a pitching change Matt
Padgett singled to left to score Hooper. Kelley Washington hit a sacrifice fly to right
which allowed Goodman to score.

In the 6th inning with one out Francisco Ferrand hit a solo home run
over the deck in right field.

The Bandits would claw back to within range when Gabby Torres singled to left.
Tony Stevens walked. Luis Rodriguez then singled to center. After that Gaige Thomas
issued a wild pitch which allowed Torres from third. A pitching change and one out later
Matt Scanlan hit into a fielder's choice to score Stevens from third.

The Cougars would put the game out of reach in the bottom of the inning when
Dave Callahan doubled to left. Matt Frick walked. Ferrand then hit into a fielder's choice.
Kevin Perkins also hit into a fielder's choice which scored Callahan from third.
