Sylvan Lake, AB - The Okotoks Dawgs returned to their winning ways by shutting out the Sylvan Lake Gulls 3-0 tonight in a closely fought game. Strong pitching from the Dawgs bullpen kept the Gulls bats at bay which allowed the Dawgs to strike.

With this victory against Sylvan Lake, the Dawgs improved their record to 27-7 reminding the WCBL who the best in the west is.

Logan Grant (Chestermere, AB) stood out tonight against the Gulls. Grant went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a hard-hit double in the ninth. Connor Crowson (Okotoks, AB) would also put a run on the board after crushing a double in the eighth.

The Dawg's bullpen was locked in against Sylvan Lake, not allowing a single run to cross the dish. Garrett Maloney (Campbellsville University) got the nod tonight, tossing four innings with four strikeouts. Every pitcher that would step in after Maloney would pitch scoreless innings. Aaron Hammer (Campbellsville University) and Trent Warstler (Emporia State) wouldn’t allow a single hit to connect from the Gulls. To wrap things up tonight, Ashton Luera (Oklahoma Wesleyan) made the save, striking out all three batters that stepped to the plate in his single inning of work.

The Dawgs return to beautiful Seaman Stadium tomorrow Thursday, July 11th to take on the Sylvan Lake Gulls in our annual ‘Mascot Mania’ where Diggity will be joined by a few mascot friends.
