Wisconsin Downed, 7-5, by Cougars
Kane County and Wisconsin duked it out and the Cougars came out victorious.

The Kane County Cougars cut down the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers by the score of 7-5, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Ed Wills. Wills went 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk for the Cougars. The win went to Duane St. Jean in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Phil Castillo took the loss. Jerry Rhodes closed the game out for Kane County, earning his 3rd save.

Kane County used the timely hitting of Ed Waller to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cougars on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Wills.

Wisconsin, with the loss, is still a stout 7-3.
