Dawgs Beat Lethbridge 9-1; Improve to 8-0

Story by Jacob Sarro

The Dawgs returned home from their two game road trip in Brooks, to face the Lethbridge Bulls at Seaman Stadium, where they extended their winning streak to 8 games. The Dawgs had a massive second inning where the bulk of their total runs to secure a lead they would never squander. The Dawgs would add one run in the third and fourth inning to make the chances of a Bull’s comeback even more improbable.

The Dawgs bats came alive in the second inning when the team put up 7 runs on the Bulls. The offense was powered by hitting efforts throughout the lineup, however debuts from JJ Hoover and Ruben Cedillo stood out in the boxscore. JJ Hoover finished the game with 3 RBI while batting 2-4 in his season debut. Outfielder Ruben Cedillo made his presence felt by scoring 2 runs and finishing the night with 1 RBI while batting 1-3.

Graham Seltzer started his second game of the season improving to 2-0 on the season. Seltzer pitched 5 innings, only allowing one run and finished with four strikeouts. Seltzer’s only run allowed came in the first inning and as Seltzer settled in, would shut down the bulls until he was relieved. The relief pitching as a collective, contributed four strikeouts and made life very difficult for the bulls batters helping to improve the Dawgs current win streak and overall record to 8-0.

The Dawgs will get set to embark on a nine game road trip starting in Sylvan Lake on June 8 and will return home to beautiful Seaman Stadium on Fathers Day weekend when they will face the Moose Jaw Miller Express.
