DAYTON, Ohio - The Kane County Cougars began a six-game road trip Tuesday night with 9-2 loss against the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field. Conner Crumbliss led off the game with a homer and drove in another run in the third, but the Cougars could not overcome Dayton's offensive attack and lost their seventh straight road game.

Crumbliss' homer was his first as a Cougar and the third of his career and it came on the second pitch of the game by Pedro Villareal (3-3). After Dayton scored twice in the bottom of the first against Dan Straily, Crumbliss poked a game-tying sacrifice fly in the third to make it 2-2. That became the Cougars' final run. They totaled six hits and stranded eight.

Meanwhile Straily (4-2) yielded tallies in each of his final four innings. He gave up nine runs on 12 hits, walked one and fanned four in the loss. The Dragon's four-run fifth inning broke open the game. Max Peterson tossed two hitless relief innings after Straily departed.

Game 2 of the three-game series is Wednesday night at 6 CT. The Cougars (22-31) will send Murphy Smith to the mound for his 2010 Cougars debut, and Dayton (21-31) will counter with J.C. Sulbaran (3-3, 5.63). The game will be broadcast on WBIG 1280-AM and online at www.kccougars.com with pregame coverage starting at 5:45 p.m.
