GENEVA, Ill. - In a great battle between starting pitchers Jake Dahlberg and Tyler Beardsley, the Chicago Dogs emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over the Kane County Cougars on Thursday night at Northwestern Medicine Field.
In his second straight quality start, Cougars' (2-4) righty Tyler Beardsley (0-1) pitched a gem. Over seven innings of work, Beardsley allowed just two runs on four hits with seven strikeouts against two walks. The Dogs (4-2) scored the only two runs of the ballgame in the top of the sixth inning. Nick Heath led off the frame with a triple to dead center that one-hopped the wall.
