Corny Dogs- 14

Monarchs - 9

Coming off three straight close losses the Corny Dogs faced a tough task in legendary pitcher John Burke and Garber’s Monarchs. A surprise shower from the sprinkler outside of Field 4 must have woken up the Corny Dog bats as they were able to plate five first inning runs. Taylor Abrego got the party started with a single and advanced to third on a double by Dogs sub Matt Ruckel. Captain Nick Barr then cleared the bases with his second homerun of the season. The big inning continued with straight singles from Brad Parr, Jake Runey, Mitch Klaassen and Tony Macaluso.

Burke kept the Dogs bats silent over the next two innings as the Monarchs mounted a comeback to claim their first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Leadoff hitter Tommy Apligian singled, Abrego doubled setting the table for a Ruckel three run jack to tie the game. Five straight singles put the Corny Dogs up to stay, capped by a big RBI single by Matt Roth.

 

Legends- 18 

Corny Dogs- 8 

The “softball team on a stick™” left their sticks at home for this one. After falling down 8 runs early the Corny Dogs never were able to find consistent success against Legends pitcher Michael Thiele. Cesar Garza and Barr combined to hit a pair of homeruns, but the damage was done. The Corny Dogs scraped together a few runs late, but a ketchup never materialized. 

Dogs look to get rolling next week with games against their bitter rivals Alexander’s Trash Pandas (yeah, I decided this is a rivalry) and the Leones.
Wieners of the Week:
Tony Macaluso: 4-5 BB, 2 RBI

Barr/Garza 4-7 3HRs 6 RBI
