GENEVA, Ill. - Following a 12-5 win last night, the Kane County Cougars offense continued to crush the baseball, collecting 21 hits on the way to a 15-7 victory over the Lake Country DockHounds on Sunday night at Northwestern Medicine Field.
The Kane County (10-5) bats immediately jumped on Lake Country (8-7) starter Jesse Remington (1-2).

A Steve Lombardozzi single brought in Randolph to make it 1-0.
Following Lombardozzi's single, Jimmy Kerrigan doubled in Johnson and Rolette singled to score Lombardozzi and Kerrigan to make it 4-0. Two batters later, BJ Lopez crushed a two-run homer off the score board in left-center to make it 6-0.

The Cougars continued to pour on in second and third innings. Pantoja doubled to score Dylan Busby in the third and push the lead to 8-0. In the third, Rolette blooped an RBI single before a Dylan Busby double down the right-field line made it 10-0.
