Kane County Cougars at Fort Wayne Wizards
May 17th, 2004
Does this team have to make it interesting in the late innings almost every night. Do they enjoy putting their fans through a few trips to either the fridge or the medicine cabinet depending on your tastes. In tonights game they held on for a one run victory after leading six to nithing going into the sixth inning.
In the first five innings the Cougars would score all six of thier runs. In the first inning they would get one run, Brian Ingram lead it off with a single to left. One out later David Castillo singled to left. Eddie Kim would reach on an error by the shortstop. On the play Everyone would move up a base, to load the bases. Brian Snyder singled to right to score Ingram. The Cougars looked like they would be getting a few more runs since they had the bases loaded and only one out. Dustin Majewski struck out looking for the second out. Kory Wayment would then ground out to second to end the inning.
The next couple of innings would be kinda quiet for the Cougars as they did manage two hits but a double play erased one of them. In the fourth inning they would score two runs. Majewski lead it off with a double to left, he would get to third on a error by the left fielder. One out later, Trevor Brown hit a two run homer to left for his first homer of the season. Luis Perez followed that up with a single to right, he then stole second. Again the Cougars looked to be in position to score some more runs.

Ingram would ground out to second to end the inning.
After that the Cougars offense was pretty quiet, except for in the sixth when with one out, Castillo doubled to center, moved to third on a wild pitch. A line out to second, and a pop out to left would quickly end that inning.
Chris Dunwell pitched into the seventh inning, giving up seven hits and three runs. He got out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning. With two outs, Greg Bochy singled to center. Mark McRoberts then singled to center. Colt Morton walked to load the bases. Juan Ciriaco then flew to cetner, Majewski made a nice catch to end the inning.
