The Chicago Dogs defeated the Gary SouthShore RailCats 10-0 at the Steel Yard early Saturday night. The win improves the Dogs to 53-45 this season.
The Dogs' offense dominated early and often in the victory. First baseman Jacob Teter led the ballgame with a solo home run to deep right field. He added an additional solo home run to lead off the top of the sixth inning.

Outfielder Narciso Crook torched a two-run home run to deep left field in the top of the first inning. The blast left the Steel Yard and gave Chicago an early three-run lead.
Crook's 26 home runs are third in the American Association.
Four other Dogs - third baseman Dusty Stroup, left fielder Zion Pettigrew, designated hitter Nick Dalesandro and catcher Gus Sosa - added RBI in the win.
Chicago's pitching staff threw its second consecutive shutout against Gary.
Starting pitcher Brady Miller tossed five innings, allowed three hits and accumulated a career-high seven strikeouts.
Relief pitchers Lukas Galdoni and Cal Djuraskovic threw the last four innings and surrendered three hits while striking out two.
Chicago looks to extend its two-game winning streak Sunday night at the Steel Yard. First pitch is set for 6 pm.
