Dogs swept by Lincoln

The Lincoln Saltdogs completed a four-game sweep of the Chicago Dogs after an 8-6 victory Sunday at Haymarket Park.

Ethan Wilder followed with an RBI single to drive in DiGiacomo and give Chicago a 2-1 lead. Lincoln tied it in the bottom of the third, and the back-and-forth continued in the top of the fifth when DiGiacomo hit a two-run home run to give Chicago a 4-2 lead.

The momentum swung Lincoln’s way in the bottom of the eighth with six runs to take an 8-4 lead.

The Dogs put together a rally in the top of the ninth. DiGiacomo added a fourth RBI on an infield single that made the score 8-5. Jacob Maiben added another run after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
