Chicago Dogs lose to Milwaukee

The Chicago Dogs dropped the second game of their series against the Milwaukee Milkmen 6-4 on Saturday evening at Impact Field.

The Milkmen scored first on a two-run home run by Wendell Marrero in the top of the second. Jaylyn Williams wasted no time tying the game up, adding a two-run home run of his own in the bottom of the same inning.

The back-and-forth affair continued as Milwaukee’s Andy Blake reclaimed the lead for the Milkmen with a solo home run in the top of the third. The Dogs’ offense grinded to a halt after Jaxx Groshans scored Gio DiGiacomo to tie the game at 3-3 on a fielder’s choice. Justin Janus made the score 4-3 in the top of the sixth on an RBI single that scored Griffin Doersching.

The Dogs did not record a hit again until the bottom of the ninth, when Williams drove in Groshans to make the score 6-4. It was not enough to mount a late rally, and Chicago falls to 9-16 on the season. The Dogs are the only team in the American Association that has yet to achieve 10 wins.
