Dogs win final game of the season against Milwaukee, take season series 10-2

Keoni Cavaco and Davis Welch went head-to-head in a pitchers’ duel, which the Chicago Dogs ended up winning 4-1 over the Milwaukee Milkmen on Thursday thanks to great outings from Cavaco, Brock Bell and J.C. Keys.

Chicago scored four runs on nine hits, while the Milkmen scored one run on just three hits, two of which came in the bottom of the ninth. Scoring finally started in the top of the fourth inning, when Dogs catcher Chance Sisco smoked his 11th home run of the season to right field, scraping over the wall and making it 1-0 Dogs.

A T.J. Hopkins single in the fifth added another run, as Henry Kusiak scored from second. Hopkins went 2 for 4 in his return from the injured list. The Dogs added a run on a Matt Scolan single in the seventh inning that scored Dusty Stroup from second, and then again in the ninth on a wild pitch that scored Jacob Maiben from third.
