The Okotoks Dawgs defeated the Fort McMurray Giants 10-2 in the first game of their road trip at Legacy Dodge Field on Thursday night.

With the win, the Dawgs improved to 14-2 on the season.

After five scoreless innings, the Dawgs tallied the first run of the game when Dawson Santana (Oregon State University) crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly from Nash Crowell (Yarmouth, N.S.).

Crowell also homered and had three RBIs in the contest, while Tucker Zdunich (High River, Alta.) collected two runs, two hits and two RBIs.

On the mound, Gavin Wuschke (Regina, Sask.) started and hurled six strong innings, recording three strikeouts. Greg Ross (Sarnia, Ont.) also contributed a scoreless inning in relief.

The Dawgs will remain in Fort McMurray for their next three games.

Seaman Stadium, however, will be hosting a Futures Game on Saturday that will see the Dawgs Academy’s 17-18 year-old-teams, Red and Black, play against each other. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and fans are encouraged to come cheer on their future Dawgs players.

The Dawgs return to Seaman Stadium on June 25 to face the Sylvan Lake Gulls.
