Kane County Cougars News Release


COMSTOCK PARK, Mich.- The Kane County Cougars (30-11, 66-43) put together 11 hits against the West Michigan Whitecaps (23-17, 56-53) but fell 7-2 at Fifth Third Ballpark Friday evening.

West Michigan started the offense quickly with four runs over the first four innings off of Cougar starter Ethan Elias (9-4). Two runs in the first inning and two in the fourth helped the Whitecaps never have to look back.

The Cougars offense didn't find the scoreboard until the top of the fifth as they scored two runs on two outs thanks to Chuck Taylor's RBI triple and Colin Bray's run scoring single.

The Whitecaps grabbed three more runs in the bottom of the frame as they knocked Elias out of the contest.

AJ Ladwig (9-8) gave up eight hits to the Cougars' offense, but his only blemish was the fifth. The right-hander finished with seven frames of two-run baseball and five strikeouts.

The Cougars look to even the series with a win on Saturday. Brad Keller (6-8, 2.59) will take the mound for the Cougars against West Michigan's Jeff Thompson (4-9, 4.20). First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. The game can be heard on AM 1280 WBIG and kccougars.com.
