Cougars beat Dogs

The Kane County Cougars beat the Chicago Dogs 5-2 Tuesday at Impact Field in Rosemont.

Steven Lacey, in his return to the Dogs organization, threw four innings allowing just one run, striking out five hitters. Trey Braithwaite followed up with two scoreless.

The Cougars got to Brock Bell, who allowed two earned runs, in the seventh. Kane County added two runs in the ninth inning.

The Dogs’ offense was relatively quiet despite four straight innings with the leadoff man on base. Reggie Pruitt Jr. hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to put Chicago on the board, and Howard Rodriguez scored on a throwing error by shortstop in the eighth.
