RHP Josh Roeder allowed four runs on six hits over five innings and lost his fourth consecutive start.
The DockHounds made it 5-0 in the 6th inning. LF Marek Chlup hit a double into the left-center field gap, scoring DH Marcus Chiu from first after a misplay from CF Nick Anderson.
RF Connor Panas reached all four times with two hits and two walks for Lincoln (37-37), but the ‘Dogs were shut out the game following a shutout of their own for the first time since July 2015.
RHP Walter Borkovich allowed one run in the 6th, LHP David Zoz tossed a scoreless 7th and RHP Nic Laio pitched a scoreless 8th.
DH Yanio Perez went 0-for-4, snapping his season-best 12-game hitting streak.
