Kane County grabbed game one of this best of three opening round matchup by jumping on Clinton starter Nick Masset for two in the second and three in the third.

Masset left the game after six, having surrendered five runs, only three of which were earned, on eight hits. Three infield errors marred Masset's effort as fanned five without issuing a free pass, but he did plunk two.

Clinton was blanked through eight and two-thirds when catcher Manny Santana finally got them on the board with an inconsequential three-run blast that drove in Hector Lebron and Larry Grayson, both of whom had singled.

The LumberKings travael to Kane County Thursday and Friday (if necessary) for the remainder of the series. The winner of the series will take on either Beloit or Wisconsin. If Clinton wins this first series with Kane County, and Beloit wins, the LumberKings will be at home Saturday and at Beloit for the remainder of the three game series. And if Wisconsin wins, Clinton will be at Wisconsin Saturday, and be at home Sunday and Monday.
