Rosemont, Ill. - In Game One of Thursday's twin bill at Impact Field, the Chicago Dogs crushed four home runs - including three three-run blasts - in a 14-11 win over the Winnipeg Goldeyes.

For the second-straight night, Chicago piled up seven runs in a single inning. Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the third, the Dogs exploded for seven runs, capped off by Tyler Ladendorf's third home run of the series, to take an 8-3 lead. Subsequent three-run jacks from K.C. Hobson and Joey Terdoslavich put Chicago ahead, 14-4, through five innings. Casey Crosby and Paul Schwendel then held off a late Winnipeg charge, as the Dogs took Game One of the doubleheader, 14-11.

In Game Two, Blake Allemand ripped a two-run double to put the Dogs ahead, 2-0, in the second inning. Winnipeg's Kyle Martin then cracked a solo home run in the fourth to cut the Dogs' lead to 2-1. In the sixth inning, the Goldeyes broke through by piling up six runs, highlighted by Jordan George's two-run bomb, to all but seal their Game Two victory.
