The Chicago Hounds were swept in the 3-game season series with the Browns today by a score of 3-1 in a rain/lightning/thunder/darkness-shortened-6-inning affair at Winnemac Park. The game was tight the whole way, but the Hounds just ran out of time (and daylight).

Good start to the weekend
The Chicago Hounds play a split doubleheader today at Winnemac: 12:15 pm v. the Browns and 3:00 pm v. the Aviators. The Hounds started the weekend off well by defeating the Trojans 17-0 at Winnemac yesterday. It was not a Garcia-family slaughter this time, as the Hounds scored 9 runs in the top of the 7th inning to put the game away.
Alec Reinke (#14, P) was the star of the day, pitching a masterful complete game for the win, while striking out 12 Trojans. 12 strikeouts out of 21 total outs! Reinke also did significant damage with the Charlie’s collective bat, as he reached safely 4 times on 3 singles and an error.
