Sun Dogs Snag 8-4 Win
The Thornton Sun Dogs topped the Iowa City Kingpins by the score of 8-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Fernando Rodríguez. Rodríguez went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Sun Dogs on the day. Thornton reliever Juan Soto picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Ning-qing Tan absorbed the loss. The Sun Dogs raised their record to 24-43.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Patrick MacLay came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Iowa City pitcher Ning-qing Tan, he hit a 2-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Thornton on top, 5-4.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," MacLay told the Thornton Observer.
