LumberKings Get 12-5 Win Versus Kane County
Though he had a terrific game, Jonathan Engeman could not prevent his team, the Kane County Cougars, from absorbing a loss. Clinton won the game, 12-5. Engeman was 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks. Ken Bush earned the win to go to 2-2. He allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 9 strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. With the loss, Kane County is 9-10.

Clinton used the timely hitting of Steve Irvin to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the LumberKings on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We hit the ball hard," said Clinton manager Clay Buchholz. "Line drive after line drive."
