ROSEMONT, Illinois – Cameron Monger reached twice and drove in a run as part of Cleburne’s four-run 7th inning, but the Dogs scored a late run and evened the series with a 5-4 win at Impact Field on Saturday night.

Blake Grant-Parks tied the game with an RBI double.

Cleburne starter Jared Mortensen went six innings, giving up four runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts in his third loss of 2018.

Chicago extended its lead in the 3rd inning when Edwin Arroyo clubbed a three-run homer after Mike Falsetti walked and Kenny Wilson singled with one out. The homer was Arroyo’s second of the year and Chicago’s second of the series.
Cleburne finished with just four hits on the night, though Levi Scott and Chase Simpson both walked twice. The Railroaders also struck out 14 times combined on Saturday night.
