Cougars Absorb 8-6 Home Loss
2026 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Kane County Cougars.

The Peoria Chiefs overcame a pretty good performance by Kane County left fielder Norberto Muñóz, beating the Cougars, 8-6, at Philip B. Elfstrom Stadium. Muñóz went 2 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Doug Peterson, the winner, is now 3-5. He struck out 7 and walked 1 over 6.1 innings, while allowing 5 runs on 10 hits. Earning the save was Víctor Gutiérrez. He's now cashed in 19 of 21 save opportunities.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gil Guistiniani? The Peoria right fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Chiefs on top, 4-1. For the game, Guistiniani had 1 double and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"I felt good up there," said Guistiniani. "I saw the ball well."

The defeat makes Kane County 50-76.
