The Chiefs made it 4-1 in the 3rd but Kane County came back in the 4th. Murray Watts slammed a 2-run homer (his 2nd) and Gerard Hall smacked a 2-out, 2-run double to make it 5-4 Cougars. That lasted until the 6th when the Chiefs scored 4 off Matt Mitchell and Jon Keck. They added 2 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th to make it 11-5. The Cougars mounted a rally with 2 outs in the 9th as Alex Llanos singled in a run, Caseres hit an RBI double and Lane Adams hit an RBI triple before Watts struck out looking to end it.
