Cougars Take Finale against Bandits

August 24, 2010 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Kane County Cougars News Release


GENEVA, Ill. - Chris Mederos pitched seven strong innings for the second start in a row Tuesday night, and Mike Gilmartin, Tyreace House and Conner Crumbliss each drove in a run as the Kane County Cougars cruised past the Quad Cities River Bandits, 3-1, at Elfstrom Stadium. The Cougars snapped a three-game losing streak overall and a seven-game home losing skid.

Mederos (6-5) issued his second straight quality start and fifth overall in 11 tries. He gave up a second-inning homer to Rainel Rosario, and that became the Bandits' lone run. Mederos yielded four hits, walked two and fanned seven in the win. Max Peterson pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings, and Jose Guzman recorded the final out for his 17th save.

The Cougars, like the Bandits, did all of their damage in the second inning. They scored three off Eric Fornataro (7-14) to account for the difference in the game. Anthony Aliotti and Leonardo Gil singled, and Max Stassi walked to load the bases. Gilmartin walked to tie it, 1-1, House reached on an RBI infield single to make it 2-1, and Crumbliss notched a run-scoring fielder's choice for the 3-1 game.

The Cougars (30-26, 62-63) now hit the road for seven games starting Wednesday night at 7 CT with the opener of a three-game series with the Beloit Snappers. Dan Straily (8-7, 4.64) will face Martire Garcia (1-1, 9.75). The game will be broadcast on WBIG 1280-AM and www.kccougars.com with pre-game coverage starting at 6:45 p.m.
