High River's Zdunich hits grand slam in Dawgs' fifth straight victory

High River's own Tucker Zdunich hit a grand slam in Tuesday night's game to help lift the Dawgs to a 10-4 victory over the Sylvan Lake Gulls.

Chase Tucker, who came in relief for Graham Brunner in the middle of the third inning, would get credit with the win and strike out two Gulls on the night. Tucker currently holds an impressive 1.39 ERA.

The Dawgs opened up the scoring in the bottom of the second thanks to Chestermere's Logan Grant who crushed a solo home run.

The Gulls answered with four runs at the top of the third, taking a three-run lead over Okotoks.

The Dawgs wouldn't roll over and instead chomped back with four runs of their own in the bottom of the third, taking back their one-run lead.

Brendan Luther would get the first RBI in the inning for the Dawgs when he hit a double to score Spencer Sullivan in for a run. Crowson would get the next RBI after hitting a single and giving Luther enough time to cross home plate.

Nash Crowell gave the Dawgs the one-run lead back after he hit a home run with Crowson still on first base.

Neither team scored a run in the fourth inning.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Dawgs put the game out of reach. Zdunich would go up to bat with bases loaded. He made the most of his opportunity and smashed the ball way out of the park, giving the Dawgs a 9-4 lead.

The Dawgs would get their final run from Sullivan who was able to reach home plate after Luther hit a single in the bottom of the sixth.

Okotoks will look to add to their five-game winning streak when they play the Lethbridge Bulls on Wednesday night at Spitz Stadium. The first pitch is at 7:05 pm.
