Geneva, IL - The Kane County Cougars (Class A affiliate of the Okland Athletics) home opener was a sunny, chilly one, not unlike most Illinois baseball home openers. With the wind blowing out, it looked to be a promising game. The Kane County Cougars (4-0) faced the Burlington Bees (2-2) with a great team pitching ERA of 2.25 and a team batting average of .266. Scott Mitchinson took the mound for the Cougars and opened the game with a strike, however the next pitch was driven into right center for a triple by #6 Adrian Ortiz.
