Tonight, the Dawgs claimed a Giant win over Fort McMurray to put them at 2-0 against them on the season. Tonight's win was a whole team effort beginning with a stellar performance from Austin Eaton (Texas State University) on the mound, complemented by a confident and competent bullpen in relief. Offensively, the Dawgs remained consistent all evening, scoring in five different innings. It was a packed stadium for a weekday game with a sold-out grandstand and a total attendance of 4111 Dawgs fans!

From the bump tonight, the Dawgs held the Giants to 5 hits and only 1 run scored. Austin Eaton (Texas State University) started for the Dawgs, going 5.0 innings and recording 8 strikeouts! The Dawgs then had appearances from Ryan McFarland (Campbellsville Univeristy), Trey Mackwood (Panola State Community College), and Dominic Wade (Ellsworth Community College). In a combined bullpen effort, the Giants were held scoreless through the rest of the game.

The Dawgs' offence was on fire tonight, capitalizing on opportunities such as walks and hit by pitches in addition to some excellent hitting! Standout performers tonight begin with Benito Bonilla (Missouri State University), who went 2 for 3 with a massive home run. Ricky Sanchez (Pittsburg State University) also had a great night, going 2 for 4 with 1 walk, 1 RBI, and 1 run scored.
