The Okotoks Dawgs got back on the winning track on Saturday night with a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Medicine Hat Mavericks in front of 5,176 fans at Seaman Stadium.

The win earned the Dawgs a series split and boosted their record to 19-4 on the season.

A walk-off single by Connor Crowson (Okotoks, Alta.) in the bottom of the 12th inning secured the victory for the Dawgs. It was Crowson’s second hit of the contest. He also doubled in the eighth.

Logan Grant (Chestermere, Alta.) also contributed two hits, two runs and an RBI for the Dawgs in the victory.

On the mound, Cam Stephens (Linn-Benton Community College) started and made his Dawgs’ debut. He limited the Mavericks to one run in three innings. Garrett Maloney (Campbellsville University) then followed with three scoreless innings.

Trent Warstler (Emporia State University) earned the win when he fanned two batters while pitching a scoreless 12th.

The Dawgs will now play the Swift Current 57’s on Sunday at Seaman Stadium. It will be the first match-up between the clubs this season.
