Kane County Cougars at Ceder Rapids Kernels
May 22nd, 2000
Memorial Stadium, Ceder Rapids, Iowa

Jorge Cordova pitched a good game going seven innings, while giving up eight hits and four runs. THe only thing is he only struck out one. Hector Henriquez pitched a perfect inning getting all three Kernels on strikes.

Francisco Ferrand hit a wind added home run in the first inning to right field.

The only problem was that the Kernls would have Casey Kelley hit a solo home run in the second to tie the game.

In the third inning Scott Goodman made a nice throw to Matt Frick at the plate to get Josh Shaffer at the plate to prevent the Kernels from getting ahead at that point.

It took only two more innings for Ceder Rapids to get the extra runs. In the 5th inning Casey Kelley lead the inning off with a walk, then advanced on a wild pitch. Tom Gregorio singled back to Cordova who couldn't come up with the ball and he was safe at first, whild Gregorio would make third. Michael O'Keafe would crush a home run to right field to get the Kernels ahead for good.

The Cougars would scratch another run across in the fifth when Dennis Anderson doubled to right. and got to third on a misplay by the right fielder. One out later Kevin Hooper singled to left to score Anderson.

In the seventh inning Kevin Perkins made a great play. Mike O'Keafe singled to right to lead off the inning. Josh Shaffer then singled to right.
