LINCOLN, Nebraska - C Luke Roskam hit a two-run homer and extended his on-base streak to 35 games, but the 'Dogs lost 6-3 to the Chicago Dogs on Tuesday night at Haymarket Park
Roskam's two-run homer got Lincoln (34-35) on the board in the bottom of the 1st after Chicago (37-32) scored four in the top-half to open the scoring, but the 'Dogs dropped a third consecutive game after winning the first two games against the Kane County Cougars on the homestand.

Roskam hit a two-run homer in the 1st and DH Yanio Perez later followed with a solo homer - his first game back after missing four straight with a heel injury. Chicago led 4-3 at the end of the inning.
The game remained 4-3 until the fifth inning. LF Matt Bottcher made it 5-3 with an RBI double and 1B Luke Mangieri added a run with a two-out double to make it 6-3.
