Chicago Dogs lose third straight game as bats continue to struggle

The Chicago Dogs losing streak reached three games Saturday night as the offensive struggles continued in a 6-1 loss to the Lake Country Dockhounds at Impact Field in Rosemont.

Lake Country jumped out to a 5-0 lead after an inning and a half, the exclamation point being a 3-run home run off the bat of Curtis Terry in the first inning. The Dogs’ only run of the game came in the seventh inning, as Marty Costes hit his second homer of the year, but that is all Chicago scored. The Dogs have only scored three runs in their last 27 innings.

Marty Anderson did not make it out of the second inning in his first start for Chicago, allowing four hits and five runs in an inning plus. Connor Curlis, Chad Pike, and Thomas King combined for eight innings of 1-run, 5-hit ball for Chicago, which only leads the Dockhounds by a game for third place in the Eastern Division.
