BURLINGTON, Iowa - The Kane County Cougars suffered one of their worst losses of the season Tuesday night, a 14-1 drubbing at the hands of the Burlington Bees at Community Field. The Cougars dropped three of four in the series. Tuesday marked the end of a stretch in which the Cougars played 28 games in 28 days, and they went 11-17 during the uninterrupted period.

Down 2-0 in the third, the Cougars got what became their only run of the game. Steve Parker belted a two-out solo homer to cut it 2-1. But the Bees erupted for a six-run fourth and then had three more two-run frames the rest of the way.

Mathieu Leblanc-Poirier (3-7) suffered the loss. He gave up eight runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings and threw five wild pitches. Scott Deal gave up four runs in 2 1/3, Josue Selenis tossed 1 1/3 scoreless frames and Matt Fitts yielded two more runs in one inning.

The Cougars (24-28, 65-57) are off Wednesday and start a four-game series in Beloit on Thursday night at 6:30 CT. Shawn Haviland (6-9, 4.36) is scheduled to pitch for the Cougars, and the Snappers (21-31, 48-74) will counter with Daniel Osterbrock (6-9, 5.68).
