Seven-run eighth inning propels Chicago Dogs to victory over the Kane County Cougars

All nine players in the Dogs’ starting lineup reached base by a hit in an 18-12 victory Friday night against the Kane County Cougars at Impact Field in Rosemont.

Kenny Serwa started the series opener for the Dogs, throwing six innings, allowing four earned runs, striking out a season high of nine strikeouts.

Behind Serwa’s start, the offense behind him got off to an early hot start.

The Dogs scored in the first inning off of a Brantley Bell RBI double, which drove in Nick Dalesandro. Bell’s double, his 18th of the season, tied him for third in the American Association in doubles.
