Cougars' Season Comes to a Close

GENEVA, Ill. - After suffering a two-game playoff sweep at the hands of the Burlington Bees, the Kane County Cougars' 19th season of baseball came to an end Thursday night at Elfstrom Stadium with a 4-0 loss in Game 2 of their opening round best-of-three playoff series.

Murphy Smith (0-1) gave the Cougars a quality start but ended up with a loss after allowing two unearned runs -- in the second inning -- over 6 2/3 frames. He gave up six hits, walked one and fanned four. Trey Barham gave up one run in 2/3 of an inning, and Paul Smyth gave up the Bees' fourth run in the ninth.

Offensively the Cougars managed just three hits and five walks against Burlington's Tim Melville (1-0), Cole White and Blaine Hardy. Conner Crumbliss and Petey Paramore were the only Cougars who reached multiple times.

The Cougars (76-64) will take the field again April 8, 2010, when they open their 20th season of baseball.

Players of the Game:

Conner Crumbliss (offense); Murphy Smith (pitching)
