Game #2: RIVERDOGS 5 Thunder 7

It has been quite a few days since the Riverdogs played together and the team showed up tonight for a 5:30pm game against the Thunder! As you can probably tell by the score...it was a close game. The Riverdogs were down a few runs, then caught up and then it was just a close game.

I don't have details about the game since I was at another game keeping the books!

A big shout out to Ann Stahlman for covering me keeping the books!

We are back at Nowell Field this Friday night at 6:30pm to play the Scrappers! Please make sure the players are there by 5:30pm.

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!
