The Cougars five game winning streak came to an end tonight, as they would lose to the Dayton Dragons 7-2.
Kane County actually came out and scored first in the game. With two outs in the second inning, Jose Pineda hit a homer to left. After that Jeff Bieker singled to left. Two wild pitches would get him to third with two outs. Wes Long then lined out to right to end the inning.
Dayton would come back in the bottom half of the inning and take the lead with two runs of their own. With one out, Brandon Szymanski would reach on an error by first baseman Steve Kleen. He then stole second. One out later, Craig Tatum walked. Bobby Mosby then grounded one over the third base line, that I guess was fair. It was very close, the ball went down into the Dayton bullpen. Both Syzmanski and Tatum would score on the double. Gerardo Cabrera grounded out to third to end the inning.
With one out in the fifth inning the Cougars would tie the game. Long walked, followed by a Anthony Recker walk. One out later, Justin Sellers singled to left to score Long. A passed ball would get runners on second and third with one out. Frank Martinez struck out.
Dayton scored another run in the fifth inning. Bobby Mosby doubled down the left field line to lead things off. One out later, Michael Griffin singled to left. Paul Janish was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. Jay Bruce hit a sacrifice fly to right to allow Mosby to score to give Dayton the lead again.
Szymanski led off the sixth by being hit by a pitch. Eric Eymann then doubled down the left field line to drive home Szymanski. Denove pitch hit for Craig Tatum and put down a self defense sacrifice bunt to move the runners along. Mosby hit a sacrifice fly to score Eymann.
Michael Griffin led off the seventh with a double to right. Janish then walked. Bruce blooped a single to left to load the bases. Habilito Hernandez then hit into a double play. Griffin would score on the play.
Eymann popped up a ball to lead off the eighth. The pitcher Ron Madej missed the popup, after confusion on who was going to get the ball. It would end up as a two base error on Madej. One out later, Mosby singled to right to score Eymann.
Jeff Baisley led off the fourth with a walk. Steve Kleen then hit into a double play. That and two other double plays would really hurt the Cougars chances of scoring runs and coming back to win the game.
