GENEVA, Ill. - With six runs in the final three innings, the South Bend Silver Hawks pulled away late and trounced the Kane County Cougars with a 9-1 victory on Thursday night at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark.
South Bend (46-44, 11-9) pulled ahead in the top of the second as Roidany Aguila singled and advanced to second on a balk from Kellen Moen (3-6) before scoring on a two-out knock from Raul Navarro. Chris Ellison tripled to start the third inning and scored on a groundout off the bat of Elgin native Ryan Court to put the Silver Hawks up by a pair.
Archie Bradley (8-5) was solid over six innings as he surrendered just a run on four hits while punching out six. Bradley's only tally allowed scored in the bottom of the third as the Cougars (45-45, 11-9) strung together three consecutive singles with Kenny Swab crossing the dish after a Justin Trapp base hit, coupled with an Ellison error in center.
