Dealing with two rain delays, the Kane County Cougars (7-7) couldn’t sustain a big 4-run inning from the Gary SouthShore RailCats, falling in the second game of the series 5-1.

Gary’s big inning came in the seventh. Reliever Mike Brewer (0-2) was one strike away from a perfect frame, but Gio Diaz kept the inning alive with a two-out walk. The Railcats then used three singles, a walk, and a wild pitch to score four runs for a 5-1 lead. LG Castillo had the biggest hit with a 2-run single.

The Cougars’ lone run came in the fifth on a bases-loaded walk to Todd Lott. Gary reliever Ryan Munoz (1-0) picked up the win.
