Tough day for Chicago Dogs pitching contributes to loss
An extremely windy day and a blazing bright sun on Saturday at Impact Field in Rosemont made the game setting quite difficult for both sides.
The Dogs lost 10-3 to the Kansas City Monarchs.
For the Dogs, John Baker started on the mound, allowing runs in four of the five innings he appeared in.
From the start, the Dogs offense competed with the Monarchs. Jacob Teter hit a 2-RBI single to left field in the third inning, putting the Dogs on the scoreboard.
Teter continued to hit, using the wind to his advantage, driving a solo home run to left-center field. Teter’s long ball tied him for first place in the American Association in home runs, tied with teammate Narciso Crook and Cleburne’s Brian O’Grady.
