The Chicago Dogs allowed a five-run lead to slip away in Tuesday’s 9-8 loss to Cleburne.

Dogs outfielder Narciso Crook blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning. Crook’s solo shot put him back in the league lead in home runs, now tied in first with Cleburne’s Carter Aldrete, who both have seven on the season.

Jesus Lujano hit an RBI single in the top of the third inning. Jacob Teter launched a grand slam in the frame.

Starting pitcher Kenny Serwa allowed two runs over five innings, but gave up five earned runs in the top of the sixth. Serwa was relieved by Michael Krauza, who gave up two earned runs after allowing a hit and walking three batters.

A late game comeback was fueled by another Lujano RBI single as well as a David Maberry solo home run.

Game two of the series is set to start at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
