By Jack Ankony First baseman K.C. Hobson’s leaping attempt drew leather, but didn’t halt Dylan Kelly’s line drive in the first inning. As the ball trickled into right field, the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks jumped out to a 1-0 lead in game two of the North Division Championship Series. It wasn’t the first-inning performance Dogs ace Jordan [...]
By Jack Ankony After fending off five foul balls in a row, Chicago Dogs second baseman Joey Terdoslavich waited patiently for a mistake. He turned on a fastball from Luke Lind and cut Fargo-Moorhead’s lead to one run with a home run over the right field wall in the bottom of the seventh inning. Terdoslavich’s [...]
By Jack Ankony It’s always a good feeling to end a road trip with a win, especially after losing the first two games by a combined score of 28-5. The Dogs erased the sour taste present during the beginning of the series by warming up the bats early and often on Wednesday. After scoring a [...]
By Jack Ankony T.J. Bennett’s eyes widened as he saw a belt-high breaking ball. He jumped on the pitch and punched it to the opposite field over the leftfield wall. In just his eighth at-bat of the season, the Dogs could feel his impact. His second home run in his first two games for the [...]
By Jack Ankony For the second time this season, the Dogs lost at Newman Outdoor Field to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks by a score of 17-5.

By Jack Ankony When Jordan Kipper faced the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks on May 26, he allowed seven earned runs. But it was a completely different story on Wednesday night against the RedHawks thanks to a new pitch he developed over the offseason. Kipper trained with former MLB pitcher David Aardsma to develop a slider, which has [...]
By Jack Ankony Like all younger brothers, Connor Grey always wanted to be like his older brother. So when Grey’s brother started throwing curveballs when he was 11, the 9-year-old Connor followed suit. And ever since, it has been the pitch he has used to devastate opposing hitters. “It’s the only pitch that my grip [...]
By Jack Ankony Putting up a crooked number is the goal many teams strive for at the plate each inning. Do 10 runs count as a crooked number? Either way, a 10-run fifth inning from Fargo-Moorhead was the difference in tonight’s 17-5 loss from the Dogs. And just to salt the Dogs’ wounds, the RedHawks [...]
By Jack Ankony Unlike the Dogs’ first four wins of the season, a comeback wasn’t in the cards tonight. The Dogs fell 6-1 in their sixth road game of the season and series opener against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. The lone Dogs run of the game came in the fourth inning on a Danny Mars infield [...]
