Peoria Chiefs at Kane County Cougars
April 9th, 2002, Game 2 of Double Header
Phillip B. Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva, Illinios


The Cougars just don't have any offense, at least not
when it comes to having men in scoring position. The
Cougars were 0-5 with runners in scoring position.
Plus they had one runner thrown out at the plate. That
equals out to not taking advantage of opportunities.

Jeff Fulchino started for the Cougars and just like
his start before pitch pretty well. He last into the
sixth inning. Giving up two hits, and one run. That
run scored because of his wild pitch. He also walked
one and struck out six.

The bullpen did ok, Elvis DeJesus did a fine job of
relief work, in his one and two thirds innings. He
walked one and struck out two. He came in with a
runner on third with one out. Elvis got John Nelson to
gorundout to third. Then he walked Jesse Roman. To get
out of the inning he struck out Chris Duncan to get
out of the jam.

After that Tyler Banks came in with the game tied
going into the eighth inning. In the eighth he gave up
a double but got out of the inning with a groundout.
In the ninth he wouldn't be so lucky, and would be
tagged witht he lose.

For the Chiefs Aaron Russelburg started and went five
innings, giving up five hits, and one run. He did not
walk anybody and struck out two. His friends in the
pen helped out also, Ben Julianel and Jared Blasdell
combined to go four innings, giving up two hits, one
walk. They also struck out six.


The scoring started in the second for the Cougars
when, Jason Stokes led things off with a single to
first, off of the first baseman's glove. George Arnott
then doubled to left to score Stokes for the first run
of the game.

The Chiefs tied things up in the fifth when, Rick
Asadoorian lead the inning off with a single to left.
Chris Netwall was up next and with two strikes, I
believe as he was swingin for a pitch, he foulded it
off the bat then his hand and had to leave the game.
Shaun Boyd then came in and laid down a sacrifice bunt
to get Asadoorian over to third. Neil Simoneaux then
walked. Fulchino then threw a wild pitch. On the play
Asadoorian would score to tie it up.

In the bottom of the inning the Cougars would have a
chance to break the game open. Michael Tucker lead off
the inning with a single. Winton Zapay then sacrificed
him over to second. Rex Rundgren singled to center.
Tucker would then try to score, center fielder Rick
Asadoorian then threw home and catcher Gabe Johnson
blocked the plate well and Tucker was out.,br>
Jesse Roman lead off the ninth with a single to
center. Chris Duncan then grounded out to first to
move the runner over to second. Tim Lemon then struck
out. Roman would move to third on a wild pitch. Gabe
Johnson then poped one over the pitcher's mound that
the pitcher Banks dove for and missed. The ball fell
for a base hit, and Roman scored to put the Chiefs
ahead for good.
