Kane County Cougars News Release
GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars and Beloit Snappers battled through a rain-soaked evening Thursday at Elfstrom Stadium, and the Cougars suffered a 9-1 loss in the series finale to snap their winning streak at four. They still won three of four in the set and finished 9-6 against Beloit this season. The clubs played eight in a row against each other, and each team won four.
Kenny Smalley (9-8) suffered his fourth straight loss. The Cougars' starter gave up six runs -- five earned -- on a career-high 11 hits over four innings. He walked three and fanned four. Josue Selenis gave up three runs -- two earned -- in 1 2/3 innings, A.J. Huttenlocker retired all seven batters he faced and position player Dusty Napoleon worked a scoreless ninth in an effort to save the bullpen.
The Cougars were baffled again by Beloit starter Liam Hendriks (3-4), who combined for 13 innings of two-hit ball against them over two starts. The Cougars' only run came in the eighth with an unearned tally off Daniel Berlind, who posted his second save.
The Cougars (28-32, 69-61) continue their eight-game homestand Friday night at 6:30 CT with the start of a four-game set against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (23-36, 57-72). Anvioris Ramirez (4-2, 3.74) will face Evan Frederickson (3-7, 5.15).
