Notebook

Yes, it's a bit late here, but the Midwest League Notebook has been up for awhile...

Here is the bit about the Kane County Cougars, who are in town this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

WHO'S HOT: RHP Craig Italiano combined with reliever Scott Moore on a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts in a dominating 11-1 victory over Quad Cities Friday. Italiano allowed just one hit over five scoreless frames while fanning seven to improve to 4-0 with a 1.06 ERA that ranks second among league pitchers.

WHO'S NOT: SS Walter Correa is batting just .170 (15-for-88) on the season with 19 strikeouts and eight errors in 26 games.

DID YOU KNOW: Italiano combined with teammate Branden Dewing for a seven-inning no-hitter against Burlington on April 29. ... OF Shane Keough led the league with 11 runs scored last week to give him 17 on the season.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Everybody knows about Craig's fastball, but he's done a tremendous job of throwing off-speed pitches behind in the count," Cougars pitching coach Don Schulze told MLB.com.
