Chicago Dogs get just one hit in third straight loss

The Chicago Dogs managed just one hit Saturday night in a 4-2 loss to the Sioux Falls Canaries, their third straight defeat.

Josh Rehwaldt connected on a solo home run off Dwayne Marshall in the third inning to put the Canaries up 1-0. The lead grew to 2-0 before Jacob Maiben scored Aaron Altherr on a sacrifice fly, cutting the lead in half in the fifth. In the sixth inning, Giovanni DiGiacomo had the Dogs’ only hit of the ballgame, a solo home run to right, tying the game at 2-2.

It stayed 2-2 until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Michael Curriale hit a slow groundball down the third-base line that hit a seam in the turf and bounced away from Dogs third baseman Derek Maiben, scoring Joe Vos and Anthony Hall and putting the Canaries up for good.

The Dogs wasted a terrific outing by Marshall, who worked the first six innings, allowing just five hits and two runs, walking one and striking out six.
