Chicago Dogs fall to Lake Country

Despite their best efforts, the Chicago Dogs couldn’t even the series against Lake Country on Saturday night, dropping the game 6-4 in Rosemont.

Jack Nedrow went six innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out two. J.C. Keys threw a scoreless seventh, but then gave up three runs on two homers in the eighth inning, finalizing a comeback win for Lake Country, which looks to take the sweep Sunday afternoon.

The Dogs offense was much more productive than it was Friday, collecting eight hits and scoring four runs, thanks in part to home runs from Reggie Pruitt Jr. and T.J. Hopkins. Max Moris also drove in a run on a single to left field in the top of the fifth, scoring Chance Sisco from second base. It would not be enough, as the Dogs went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth against former major-leaguer Robert Gsellman, who earned his third save of the season.
