By Jack Ankony Ryan Lidge golfed an ankle-high pitch over the head of Adam Brett Walker II in left field. Lidge drove in K.C. Hobson to score the Dogs’ first run of the game in the fourth inning. The Dogs’ hot-hitting catcher kept his rhythm at the plate, but the same wasn’t true for the [...]
By Jack Ankony The Dogs have proven to be a resilient bunch all season, and Tuesday’s series opener at Milwaukee was no different. Christian Day allowed five earned runs in his professional debut for the Dogs, but it would be foolish to count out this Dogs team when trailing 5-0 after two innings. The Dogs [...]
By Jack Ankony After trailing 6-0 to the Milwaukee Milkmen through four innings on Wednesday, Dogs manager Butch Hobson called on new signee Jase Dalton out of the bullpen. Dalton made his professional debut for the Dogs on Tuesday and pitched one third of an inning, but Wednesday was his first opportunity to showcase his [...]
By Jack Ankony Garrett Christman exited Tuesday’s game in the seventh inning with the Dogs trailing Milwaukee, but his head was held high. Christman had just completed his longest outing of the season and kept the Dogs in a position to win the game, trailing 2-0 when Juan Echevarria entered in relief. Christman tossed 6.1 [...]

Fargo’s Will Zimmerman cranked a three-run home run in the sixth inning, which chased Dogs starter Garrett Christman and turned out to be the game winner. While [...]
By Jack Ankony It was a night of missed opportunities as the Dogs fell to the Milwaukee Milkmen, 5-0. The Dogs’ bats weren’t completely silenced, as the lineup recorded five hits, walked seven times and reached on a hit-by-pitch. But driving in the runners once they reached base was the problem, as the Dogs stranded [...]
By Jack Ankony The Dogs showed no mercy at the plate on June 7, cranking six home runs en route to a 12-6 win at Mercy Field against the Sioux City Explorers. K.C. Hobson was the winner of Monday’s home run derby, as he extended his hit streak to 10 games. Hobson hit two towering [...]
By Jack Ankony It’s almost becoming predictable at this point. While the Dogs are just five games in to the 2021 season, and have yet to play a regular season game at Impact Field, they have put the league on notice. No lead is too large in any inning. After scoring three runs in the [...]
