Dogs’ bats go silent in loss to Kansas City

The Chicago Dogs lost to the Kansas City Monarchs 6-1 on Tuesday.

Eric Lin was terrific for the Dogs in his starting debut, tossing five innings of five-hit, two-run ball, walking none and striking out seven. However, the Chicago offense mustered just six hits and one run off four Kansas City pitchers.

Austin Hansen threw the first five innings for the Monarchs, allowing five hits and one run, while walking one and striking out two, earning his first win of the season.

The Dogs’ only run of the night came off the bat of Chance Sisco, who pounded his first home run of the season in the fourth inning.
