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.
