This was followed by another basehit from Jaxx Groshans, who was left stranded. The Dogs registered a hit in each of the first five innings, totaling six hits through five innings.

This offensive success was short-lived; the Dogs registered just two more hits for the remainder of the game.

He finished with 5⅔ innings pitched, giving up nine hits and three earned runs. He was relieved by Cade Connolly, who delivered two perfect innings for the Dogs before being relieved by Bryce Schaum.
