Official Okotoks Dawgs News Release

The Okotoks Dawgs dropped another game on the road as they lost to the Sylvan Lake Gulls 6-3 on Friday.

The Dawgs started the game scoring three runs in the second inning and failed to score after that.

With a record of 30-11, the Dawgs remain first in the west division.

Graham Brunner (Sherwood Park, Alta.) had a solid outing on Friday night, registering eight strikeouts in six innings while giving up three earned runs. Relief efforts from Cade Herrmann and Quinn Tocheniuk (Okotoks, Alta.) could not contain the Gulls’ offence which came alive in the second half of the game to earn the win.

The Dawgs’ offence was led by Ricky Sanchez who went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the contest. Alejandro Cazorla (Okotoks, Alta.) also had a multi-hit night going 2-for-3. Connor Crowson (Okotoks, Alta.) and Brendan Luther (Mississauga, Ont.) each had one RBI in the contest.

The Dawgs will return home to Seaman Stadium on Saturday night for a rematch with the Gulls. The Dawgs will then travel to Edmonton for a brief road trip before returning home on Tuesday
