Peoria Chiefs at Kane County Cougars
Monday, July 1st, 2002
Phillip B. Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva, Illinios


Some things never change, the Cougars get blasted
again. It seems like this a reacuring nighmare of a
season. Is this ground hog day the movie or just the
sequel to the movie?

The Chiefs pounded out 20 hits, yes 20 and 11 runs.
The Cougars did score six runs on six hits. The most
amazing part is that the Cougars only got the six
runs. The Chiefs did make six errors to the Cougars
two.

Jason Stokes was the Cougars biggest star of the night
as he hit two homers. This makes 17 on the year. Jason
is two homer up on the record holder Jim Kavourias's
pace set last year. At this point Jim had 15 homers.
Kavourias hit two homers on the 4th of July then did
not hit another homer untill the 12th of July. Stokes
is only seven homers away from the record of 23.

Phil Akens started and did not last long in this game
as he got shelled. Phil got his 11th loss of the year,
this makes him second in the league in losses. Akens
lasted four innings. He gave up 12 hits, and eight
runs.

The Chiefs scored five runs in the second inning and
just never looked back. John Nelson led it off with a
single to center. Chase Voshell then singled to left.
Yadier Molina bunted the runners over. Rick Asadoorian
then singled to left to score Nelson. Asadoorian stole
second. Shaun Boyd hit a fly to center, Voshell would
score on the sacrifice fly. Jesse Roman then walked.
Tim Lemon singled to left to score Asadoorian. Chris
Duncan doubled to right to score both Roman and Lemon.

The Cougars did roar back with one run in the bottom
of the inning. Jason Stokes led off with a homer over
the scoreboard in left center.

In the third inning the Cougars scored again. Dennis
Anderson led off the inning with a homer to center
field for his third of the season. Rex Rundgren then
struck out. Kris Clute walked. Peoria catcher Molina
tried to pickoff Clute at first and threw the ball
down the line in right. Clute would make it to third.
Jason Helps then struck out. Charles Frazier then
lined one to third. The thirdbaseman Gabe Johnson had
the ball go off his glove. On the play Clute would
score. Frazier would get to second on a wild pitch. He
would then get to third on a balk. Jason Stokes then
came up and struck out to end the inning.

Jesse Roman led off the fourth with a single to
center. Tim Lemon then singled to left. Chris Duncan
hit one on the roof of the deck in right field.

The Cougars had a chance in the bottom of the inning.
Scott Hicks led off with a single to center. Michael
Tucker then singled to left. George Arnott lined out
to center. Dennis Anderson ground out to first. Rex
Rundgren then fouled out to first.

With two outs in the fifth for the Cougars Charlie
Frazier walked. Jason Stokes then hit one off of the
top of the scoreboard in left centerfield for his 17th
homer of the season.

Gabe Johnson singled to right with one out in the
sixth. He was then caught stealing by catcher
Anderson. John Nelson would then get on base from a
dropped third strike/wild pitch combo. Chase Voshell
singled to left. Yadier Molina singled to center to
score Nelson. Voshell would get caught between second
and third and would be tagged out to end the inning.

Two more runs for the Chiefs in the seventh basically
sealed the game for Peoria. With two outs Jesse Roman
hit a homer onto the deck in right field. Tim Lemon
singled to center. Chris Duncan then doubled to center
to score Lemon.

The Cougars would not give up, in the eighth inning
they scored one run. Scott Hicks would reach on an
error by the first baseman. On the play the ball was
hit to the first baseman. He tried to throw to the
pitcher who was running over to cover the bag. The
throw was low and got away. The catcher back him up
and threw the ball into center field. Hicks would get
to third. Michael Tucker grounded out to short to
score Hicks.
