GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars led, 1-0, through seven innings Wednesday night, but the Fort Wayne Tincaps put up four runs in the top of the eighth and beat the Cougars, 4-2, in the middle game of a three-game series at Elfstrom Stadium. Justin Marks pitched five scoreless innings and struck out nine in a no-decision.

The Cougars scored the game's first run with some help in the third. Myrio Richard singled and scored on a three-base error by Fort Wayne starter Mike Watt, who threw the ball away on a comebacker from Conner Crumbliss. Marks gave up two hits, walked three and struck out nine. He left with the 1-0 lead but ended up with a no-decision. The nine strikeouts matches his career-high, set two outings ago.

After two scoreless innings from A.J. Huttenlocker, Max Peterson (1-2) entered to work the eighth and walked three batters before giving up a grand slam to Edinson Rincon. The Cougars got one run back in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single from Tyreace House but also stranded two men on base. Nick Schumacher logged the ninth for the TinCaps and got his 12th save, and Jose De Paula (2-1) picked up the victory.

The Cougars (27-33) and TinCaps (30-30) conclude the three-game series Thursday night at 6:30 CT. Ian Krol (3-2, 2.03) is scheduled to face Daniel Sarria (1-1, 2.61). The game will be broadcast on WBIG 1280-AM and online at www.kccougars.com with pregame coverage starting at 6:15 p.m.
