Okotoks Dawgs

The Okotoks Dawgs delivered a dominant performance on Canada Day, dismantling the Brooks Bombers 15-4 at home.

The Dawgs’ offence struck early and kept applying pressure throughout the game, tallying runs in six different innings and piling up 16 hits overall.

Okotoks pulled away with a six-run seventh inning, while their pitching staff effectively shut the door in the later innings to secure the blowout win.

Offensively, Connor Crowson (Okotoks, Alta.) was a force in the heart of the lineup, finishing 4-for-5 with four runs and two RBIs while Leo Cote (Sherbrooke, Que.) added two hits and four RBIs.

On the mound, Brady Baltus (New Mexico State University) started and allowed just two runs on four hits in 6 1/3 innings to earn the win. Brody Forno (Okotoks, Alta.) and Trey Mackwood (Calgary, Alta.) each had scoreless outings in relief.

With the win, the Dawgs improve to 20-8 and are two-and-a-half games ahead of the Lethbridge Bulls in the West Division standings.

The Dawgs will play the Bombers again on Wednesday.
