cored 17 unanswered, starting with three in the third inning before a blistering six-run fourth frame. Hits are starting to come with the bases loaded and two outs with runners in scoring position for Lake Country
Wednesday will be a tough act to follow, but the DockHounds can secure a series win with Bryan Bonnell on the bump at 7:02 CT.
