Kane County Topples Clinton, 11-9
The performance of Jeff Bell proved critical in helping Kane County beat Clinton, 11-9. The Cougars left fielder went 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. The winner was Iván Montoya, who threw 104 pitches over 7.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits. The save went to Jerry Rhodes, number 5 for him.

The Cougars benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the fourth. With Mike Cole at bat and Kane County leading 1-0, the Clinton miscue allowed Kane County to plate 1 and take the lead, 2-0.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Cole told the Kane County Daily.

The loss puts Clinton at 10-8.
