Saunders Shines in 9-8 Kane County Win
In a high-scoring game between Kane County and Wisconsin, center fielder Bob Saunders was a difference-maker. The 23-year-old helped Kane County grab the 9-8 win. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Kane County pitcher José Ortíz earned the win, hiking his record to 6-2. Dominic Crow suffered the loss. Kane County is in last place in the Western Division with a record of 38-63.

Had Luis Gonzáles not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Gonzáles hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Cougars.

"We got the victory," said Gonzáles. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
