Rosemont, Ill. — Adam Walker blasted two solo home runs — his fifth and sixth of the week — to key a 2-1 Milwaukee win over the Chicago Dogs in a Sunday series finale at Impact Field.

After Walker and Chicago’s Michael Crouse both banged first-inning longballs, the two teams were deadlocked at one until the eighth inning, when Walker took Wes Helsabeck deep to right field to power Milwaukee ahead, 2-1. A.J. Schugel and Peyton Gray then recorded the final six outs from the Milwaukee bullpen, securing a 2-1 series win.
