Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Kane County Cougars
April 24th, 2001
Phillip B. Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva, Illinios


The Cougars bats fell asleep from exhaustion as they only pounded out nine hits and one run against Wisconsin.

Clint Nageotte started for the Rattlers and pitched well, going into the sixth inning. He gave up four hits and no runs while he also walked three and struck out four.

The Cougars had their chances but were o-10 with runners in scoring positon, and stranfed eleven runners on base for the game.

Offensivley the Cougars did have a good performance from Josh Wilson who had three of the team's nine hits. Will Smith also had two hits.

The Rattlers bullpen was solid, combined they went four innings. Giving up five hits and one run. They also walked one and struck out two.

For the Cougars Brad Haynes started and did not pitch all that badly. He went into the sixth inning. Brad gave up six hits and one run. The most important part was that he did not walk anybody, and struck out four.

The bullpen on the other hand was not as good. Hansel Izquierdo, Eudy Lajara and Chris Key combined to go, three and one thirds innings. They gave up six hits and three runs.



The scoring started in the second for the Rattlers when with one out Pedro Liriano doubled to center, then stole second. One out later, Miguel Villio singled to right to score Liriano.
