Beloit blanks Cougars, 4-0

After scoring at least eight runs in each game during their five-game winning streak, the Kane County Cougars cooled off with the weather Tuesday afternoon, getting shut down 4-0 by the Beloit Snappers in the finale of a four-game series.

The Cougars still won the set but the loss ended a six-game home winning streak.

Starter Shawn Haviland (2-1) pitched a second straight quality start but scattered a career-high 10 hits and yielded four runs - one earned. He gave up two in the sixth and two more in the seventh before leaving.

Josue Selenis pitched three perfect innings in relief.

The Cougars' offense had 8 hits in the game but stranded nine runners, including two in the second and one in the sixth when they began those innings with two on and nobody out.

Matt Ray had 3 hits, and Steve Kleen and Grant Desme had 2 apiece.

The Cougars continue their 10-game homestand Wednesday night at 6 p.m. with the start of a three-game series against the Lansing Lugnuts. Pedro Figueroa (2-0, 2.40) will oppose Chuck Huggins (0-1, 2.45).
