Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Kane County Cougars
Monday, April 15th, 2002
Phillip B. Elfstrom Stadiu, Geneva, Illinios


Can somebody tell me if this is the 2001 Cougars or
the 2002 version of the Cougars. The Cougars put out
13 hits and scored seven runs, in route to a 7-3 win,
the win was their third straight victory and puts them
a game within .500.

Hunter Wyant lead the way with three hits. He had a
run scoring double in the second. Plus he also had
singles in the sixth and the eighth. William Arroyo,
Scott Hicks, and Michael Tucker also had two hits
apiece.

Frailyn Tejada started for the Cougars and did not
pitch all that badly, he went five innings, giving up
seven hits. He gave up only one run, while also
walking two and striking out two. Tim Schilling then
came in and pitched the next three innings. He gave up
three hits and one run. Lou Evans pitched then ninth
and gave up one homerun.



The scoring started in the first inning when, William
Arroyo lead the game off by being hit by a pitch in
the foot. Hunter Wyant then hit into a fielder's
choice, with Arroyo being out at second. Timber
Rattlers pitcher Patrick Barnes then tried to pick off
Wyant at first and threw the ball into right field.
Wyant would make it all the way around to third. Scott
Hicks then single to center to bring home Wyant. Jason
Stokes walked. Barnes then threw a wild pitch. On the
play Hicks would make third and Stokes would make
second. Charles Frazier walked to load the bases.
George Arnott then struck out. Michael Tucker singled
to left to score both Wyant and Hicks to make the
score three to nothing.

The Rattlers would score a run in the next half
inning, when Alejandro Cadena singled to left. Chris
Collins the lined one that look like it was going to
find the gap in left. Short stop Rex Rundgren made a
great leaping catch. Daniel Floyd singled right past
Tucker at third for a single to get Cadena to third.
Jeff Ellena then doubled to left to score Cadena.
Tejada would then get out of the inning by getting a
couple of groundouts to third.

More fun for the Cougars in the second when, with one
out William Arroy singled to right, then stole second.
Hunter Wyant double to right to score Arroyo. Scott
Hicks singled to center to get Wyant to third. Jason
Stokes then hit a sacrifice fly to right, on the play
the right fielder Floyd made a nice sliding catch down
the line for the out. Wyant would score on the play.

In the seventh innin Michael Tucker hit a homer onto
the bleachers in left field to bring the score to
seven to one.

The Timber Rattlers would not go down without bitting
the Cougars. In the eighth inning Greg Dobbs led it
off with a single to center. Alejandro Cadena then
walked. Chris Collins hit into a 6-4-3 double play,
Dobbs to third. Daniel Floyd stung one to third,
Tucker made a nice play to get to the ball,
unfortuantly he made the throw to first, which bounced
and got by first baseman Juan Garcia, on the play
Dobbs would score.

Shin-soo Choo would hit a bomb to right field, for a
homer in the ninth. The ball went a long ways in
between the bleachers and the deck.
