The Hounds scored in the last three innings to create separation and INF Luke Roskam made his second appearance on the mound this season in the top of the ninth.
The ‘Dogs scored three times in the bottom of the ninth to put the winning run on first base but they fell just short as Lake Country took game two setting up a rubber match tomorrow.
