Dayton, Ohio-Kane County shortstop Jazz Chisholm blasted two home runs and added a triple and two singles to lead the Cougars to a 13-4 victory over the Dayton Dragons on Monday night. The Kane County win snapped the Dragons three-game winning streak and allowed the Cougars to avoid a series sweep at Fifth Third Field before a crowd of 7,652.
Chishom was 5 for 6 and had a chance to hit for the cycle in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. Needing a double, he lined a hit off the glove of diving center fielder
Kane County scored four runs in the top of the first inning and another in the second to take an early 5-0 lead. Dayton's Raul Wallace belted a solo home run in the third to make it 5-1, but Kane County responded with three more runs in the fourth, keyed by a two-run home run by Chisholm, his second of the game and 15th of the year, to make it 8-1.
After the Dragons scored one run in the fifth on a double by Wallace and an RBI single by Andy Sugilio, Kane County tacked on four more runs in the sixth to build their lead to 12-2.
