Kane County Cougars Baseball
For taking part in a reading program, Jack got tickets to see the Kane County Cougars play baseball. It was his first baseball game. So Jack, Lou, Boompa, and I headed out west to watch the game. The last two Sundays we were going to go were cold and/or rainy. Today the weather was beautiful. Unfortunately the Cougars didn't play so hot. Here's a brief recap from the Cougars website...
The Silver Hawks built a 6-2 lead in the middle innings, getting six runs -- three earned -- against Cougars starter Matt Fitts (0-4) in four-plus innings. After Matt Ray homered in the bottom of the fifth to make it 6-3, Mike Hart yielded a run in the sixth for a 7-3 score. Kenny Smalley logged 3 1/3 innings of two-hit shutout relief after Hart, but Dusty Coleman's RBI double in the bottom of the ninth was all the Cougars could muster beyond the fifth inning.
Jack was ready to go by the bottom of the fifth. It may have been the way the Cougars were playing. :)

Although we (L8N, Lou, and myself) hadn't been there since opening day, 2003, we weren't too surprised that some of the prices had gone up. However, we four all had a great time, and began the motions to arrange attending another opening day in 2010.
