Notables:

• Charlie Tilson (CF): 2-4, R, 3B, RBI, BB

• Luke Voit (DH): 2-3, R, RBI, 2 BB, K

• Thomas Lee (SP): 6 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 1 K
• Samuel Tuivailala (RP): IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 K

Notes:

• Thomas Lee's walk rate has fallen every time he has moved up a level, starting at 4.1% in rookie ball, dropping down to 2.6% at Peoria last year, and getting all the way down to 1.6% this year. Unfortunately, his K% rate which started at 26% in rookie ball has fallen as well, dropping below 16% this year. Last night was a typical Lee outing this season, as he pitched to contact. 9 balls in play fell for hits and another 2 went for errors, which lead to a run in the 2nd and 3 more runs in the 5th.
• After the giving up the lead in the 5th, Palm Beach was still able to make it a 1 run game in the 7th, but Sam Tuivailala gave up 3 in the 8th and Daytona put the game out of reach.
• Breyvic Valera's stolen base was his team leading 11th of the season. He set a career high with 13 stolen bags in 2013.

Kane County 5 - Peoria 4

• Blake McKnight (SP): 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
• Brandon Lee (RP): 1.2 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, HR

Notes:

• Blake McKnight had a rough 1st inning, giving up a triple to the 1st batter he faced and allowing 1 run 2 hits and 1 walk total. He settled in after that until running into trouble in the 6th. McKnight allowed 2 baserunners before giving way to Brandon Lee. Lee allowed 1 of his inherited runners to score along with 3 of his own when he gave up a grand slam later in the inning. The home run put Kane County ahead for good, although Peoria would rally late.
• Carson Kelly's home run was his 4th of the season and his 2nd in the last 5 days. Kelly also threw out the only Cougar who attempted a stolen base, made a putout on a play at the plate and picked off a runner.
• Juan Herrera's stolen base was his team leading 19th of the season, C.J. McElroy's was his 10th.
• The top of the Peoria lineup drove the offense, the 1st 4 hitters went 10-18, 3 R, 2 2B, HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, K.
