Chicago Dogs go back to back for first time this season

The Chicago Dogs earned a 7-6 victory in a closely contested game Wednesday against the Cleburne Railroaders. This marks the first back-to-back victories for the Dogs this season.

The Dogs’ offense got going immediately, scoring three runs in the first inning thanks to a basehit from Ethan Wilder paired with a walk drawn by Chance Sisco that set up a sacrifice fly by Tyreque Reed to bring Wilder home. Jaxx Groshans followed up Reed’s sacrifice fly with a two-run home run to complete the inning. Groshans’ home run traveled 425 feet, the longest at Impact Field this season.

After a pair of Cleburne solo home runs in the third and fourth innings, Groshans struck again with a solo home run of his own in the bottom of the fourth, giving Chicago a 4-2 lead. The Railroaders added yet another solo home run in the top of the fifth, cutting the Dogs’ lead to one.
