Okotoks, AB -  The Okotoks Dawgs were fired up tonight coming off two back-to-back wins against the Edmonton Prospects on Thursday. The Dawgs would continue their momentum this weekend by shutting out the Prospects 7-0 to win the third game of this five-game series.

With this dominant victory over the Prospects, the Dawgs now sit 24-5 in the WCBL season maintaining their position at the top of the power rankings. 

Tucker Zdunich (High River, AB) was a powerhouse at the dish tonight. Zdunich went 2-for-5 with two hard hit balls up the right field side earning Zdunich four RBIs. Jarrett Burney (Reinhardt University) would also continue his hitting streak this weekend, going 3-for-4 crushing a triple in the seventh inning.

The Dawgs bullpen dialled it in tonight not allowing a single run to cross the plate. Brock Townsend (Bellevue University) got the nod tonight in his first start of the season. Townsend was a force on the mound tonight, throwing four innings and not allowing a single run or hit.
