Bees Need Extra Innings to Top Cougars, 2-0
The Kane County Cougars wasted an impressive 7.1-inning effort from starter Gil Peterson, falling, 2-0, to the Burlington Bees at Philip B. Elfstrom Stadium. The defeat makes Kane County 21-18.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for José Salinas? The 22-year old second baseman Salinas stroked a 2-run double in the top of the 12th inning to put Burlington up, 2-0. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Salinas.
