Cougars starter Jack Fox allowed just 1 unearned run on 1 hit across eight innings.
In a classic pitchers' duel, the Kane County Cougars claimed a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Dogs on Thursday night at Northwestern Medicine Field in Geneva.
Thanks to Fox's efforts, the game was tied at one entering the bottom of the eighth inning. Facing Dogs reliever Joe Cavallaro, Josh Allen led off the inning with a single before Armond Upshaw bunted him over to second. After a fly out by Cornelius Randolph, TJ Bennett came to the plate with the potential go-ahead run at second. In his final professional at-bat, Bennett ripped a single to right field to bring home Allen and give the Cougars a 2-1 lead.
Prior to the late inning dramatics, The Dogs scored the first run of the ballgame in the top of the third. With one out, Matt Bottcher reached second on an error by Fox. Two batters later, Ryan Lidge drove in Bottcher with an RBI single to make it 1-0 Chicago.
