Overview

  • Kane County won both games of a scheduled doubleheader at Newman Outdoor Field, taking the opener 4-2 and the nightcap 7-6.
  • Alex McGarry drove much of the offense for the Cougars with two RBI singles in game one and a two-run triple and solo homer in game two.
  • Fargo-Moorhead jumped ahead in the second game on a two-run homer and an RBI double from José Sermo and a four-run third inning.
  • Kane County’s late relief closed both games, with Jake Gozzo retiring the side to end game one and Logan Nissen recording the final out in game two.
  • The nightcap’s decisive rally came in the top of the seventh when the Cougars tied the game with an RBI single and a fielder’s choice and then scored the go-ahead run after a RedHawks right-fielding error.
