Kane County Cougars at Burlington Bees
April 6th, 2002
Community Field, Burlington, Iowa


This Is Going To Be A Long Year Folks.


If the Cougars keep giving games away in the late
innings, this is just going to be another long year.
The team needs to learn how to hit, with runners on
base, besides the homers, every so often.

Dontrelle Willis, the pitcher the Marlins got in the
Alfonseca deal made his first Marlins start. He
pitched four innings, giving up five hits and three
runs. He walked one and struck out two. He struggled
from the get go, givng up a single to lead off the
first inning, then balking him home later in the
inning. More on that later.

Jason Kahi Kaanoi started for the Bees, he went six
innings and gave up only two hits. Jason walked one
and struck out five. He retired the first five in a
row.

Tyler Banks pitched two innings, giving up nothing,
plus striking out four. He allowed one hard hit out.
Tim Schilling then came in and pitch an inning, He got
three straight line outs to center. Kevin Cave was the
fifth pitcher of the night for the Cougars, he went
one inning, and gave up two hits. Getting one double
play.

Lou Evans was the fourth pitcher and he lasted three
hitters. giving up one hits and two runs.


The scoring started in the bottom of the first when
the Bees, had James Shanks lead off the inning with a
single to left, he then stole second. Brett Groves,
grounded to first, to move Shanks to third. Anibal
Figueroa walked. After that Willis got a little antsy
and balked home Shanks.

The Bees added to that score in the third when with
two outs, after a double play. Anibal Figueroa hit a
long homer oer everything to straight away
centerfield.

Tony Arnerich lead off the fourth inning with a single
to center, he then moved on to second on a wild pitch.
Arnerich then moved to third on a grounder back to the
pitcher. John Draper then lined one past Michael
Tucker at third for a single. With Jonathan Guzman up,
Willis would uncork a wild pitch to allow Arnerich to
score from third.

The Cougars would finaly! claw a run on the board in
the sixth when with one out, George Arnott hit a homer
to left center field.

After scoring one run the prevous inning they would
score again in the eigth. With one two outs, Kris
Clute then walked. Anthony Brewer then hit a homer to
left field. William Arroyo then walked. The Bees would
then make a pitching change. Arnott would great the
new pitcher by lining one off of the glove of the
first baseman, the ball would bounce around in the
rightfield corner to allow Arnott to get a triple. On
the play Arroyo would score. Arnott then would score
on a wild pitch.

The Cougars would then fall apart in the bottom of the
inning after they had rallied to get a two run lead
the half inning before. James Shanks lead off the
inning with a walk. Brett Groves then singled to left.
Both of them moved up on a wild pitch. Anibal Figueroa
then reached on an error by shortstop Arroyo. On the
play Shanks would score. The error was a horrible
throw that bounced off of the stands. The Cougars then
brought in Cave to pitch. Galindo Gomez then singled
to right. On the play both Groves and Figueroa would
score.
