Okotoks would add five in the second, then score in four more innings on way to the route.

Jaxin Valcke, Shay Shanaman and Jacob Melton all recorded home runs for Okotoks.

Goulden-Maddin would be tagged with the loss as the starter. He went five innings and gave up 11 hits, and 11 earned runs.

Grady Hawkins, also from Yorkton would be bright in in relief going two innings in his second appearance with the Cards. He gave up four hits, and six runs, four of those earned.

A third local pitcher; Vaughn Wilgosh, also in his second appearance closed out the game for the Cardinals giving up one earned run on two hits over two innings.

Graham Brunner was the winning pitcher for the Dawgs. He went six innings as the starter allowing four hits and two runs, both earned, as he struck out six.

The win gives the Dawgs a WCBL West-leading record of 32-10, while the Cards fall to 4-37, last in the East.
