OCONOMOWOC, WI. - The Chicago Dogs shut out the Lake Country DockHounds to complete the season sweep with a 5-0 victory Thursday evening.

Chicago began their half of the first with a single by Charlie Tilson. Michael Crouse would add on with a full-count base on balls. With two on base and nobody out, Ryan Lidge capped off an impressive series with a three-run home run, to get the first lead in the contest.

In the bottom of the first, Lake Country had a good start as they notched two singles off the first two pitches from Dogs' pitcher Jeff Kinley. Daikan Yoh and Jordan Schaffer were the beneficiaries. However, the DockHounds would strand the bases loaded.

Stevie Wilkerson protected on a 2-2 count with a solo homer to put the Dogs up 4-0. In the eighth frame, Lidge scored another run with a single to end all scoring at 5-0.

Arguably the biggest storyline was (you guessed it) Ryan Lidge. The catcher had an incredible series at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park. He wound up going 7-for-11 with 10 runs batted in. He also added two doubles and two home runs.

Lake Country ended up being shut out for the third time this season and shut out the second time by Chicago. The DockHounds only recorded four hits in the contest.

The DockHounds will continue their homestand with a three-game series against the Cleburne Railroaders on Friday, August 5th. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. Broadcaster Sam Matheny will be on the call, live from Wisconsin Brewing Company Park.
