FOND DU LAC, WI - The Dock Spiders won one and dropped one against the Chinooks as the Dock Spiders finished up an earlier suspended game from July 11th and played a full nine innings afterward.

In game one, after picking the action in the top of the seventh inning both sides exchanged scoreless innings before the Dock Spiders surged to a 9-4 win. A big five run bottom of the eighth was fueled by a Devin Nunez RBI double and a Nate McHugh two RBI single. Fond du Lac's defense was able to silence the Lakeshore offense after resuming play, as the Dock Spiders snapped a six game losing skid with a win over the Chinooks. In game two the Lakeshore Chinooks got off to a hot 5-0 lead before the Dock Spiders found the scoring column in the bottom of the third. Fond du Lac put up its first pair of runs off a Devin Nunez RBI single and a James Hankerson Jr. RBI triple. The fifth inning saw each side exchange a run, as the Dock Spiders made it a 6-3 game off of a Jonathan Fitz RBI single. It took until the bottom of the eighth inning for the Dock Spiders to find the scoring column again as Jalen Gellings scored off a wild pitch. However, the Chinooks scored a run in top of the ninth as Lakeshore cemented a 7-4 win over Fond du Lac.

The player of the night for the Dock Spiders was relief pitcher Mason Bright who went three innings while allowing no hits with four strikeouts.

In game two, the Dock Spiders offense had an up and down night as they recorded 10 hits but were struck out 13 times at the plate. Tommy Googins, Jonathan Fitz and Jalen Gellings were the three Dock Spiders to find the hit column multiple times. Googins had a great day at the plate- going 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles with a run for his first three-hit performance of the season. James Hankerson Jr. in game two notched his fifth triple of the season as it puts Hankerson at second all-time in triples in a season in Dock Spiders franchise history.

The Dock Spiders will look to rebound from today's split as they take on the Madison Mallards in a two game road series with first pitch tomorrow at 6:05 p.m.
