ROSEMONT, Ill. — Kevin Lachance homered on the first pitch of the night, setting the tone early as the Winnipeg Goldeyes racked up five long balls in an 8-4 win over the Chicago Dogs Tuesday night. Moments after Lachance’s blast, Darnell Sweeney launched a home run of his own, giving the Goldeyes back-to-back jacks just a few minutes into the ballgame. Logan Hill, John Nester and Lachance, again, chipped in with three more round trippers, and the Goldeyes won their sixth straight game, ending the Dogs’ win streak at four.
