Dogs Sweep Pair from Canaries
The Chicago Dogs swept their double-header with the Sioux Falls Canaries on Wednesday. Chicago won the opening contest 7-2, thanks to three RBI from Kelly Dugan and six solid innings from D.J. Snelten. Chicago scored two in the bottom of the second, as Dugan led off with his first homerun of the year. He would add a two-run double in the sixth.
In the second contest, Luke Westphal and Keaton Steele were locked in a great pitchers’ battle as neither team was able to score through regulation. That sent the contest to extra innings, where Victor Roache would win it with a walk-off homer to start the eighth to give the Dogs a 1-0 victory. Josh Goossen-Brown earned the victory with two shutout innings.
