IN SHORT
It was a tough day overall for the Dodgers as they struggled to get anything going at the plate, finishing the day with just three hits overall. With starting pitcher Kyle Flanagan struggling to find the strike zone, and the defense committing numerous errors, the Dodgers succumbed to the 10-run rule following a Frank Tassielli solo home run in the bottom of the sixth.

DODGER OF THE GAME
Mike Wulff—The catcher was one of the few Dodgers to reach base safely, leading off the game with a single. He also had a stolen base on Monday.

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCES
Tom Tracy (Madison), 1-for-2 with a single; Alex Brownlee (Madison), 1-for-2 with a single; Ricky LaSalvia (Hanover Park), pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out three.

THEY SAID IT
“A bad day from the very beginning…they’re a very good club, we know they’re a very good club. We didn’t have one of our big three [pitchers] on the mound and we’ve got to deal with that. You can’t throw your best every day…we did not react well to a loss [Gov. Livingston on Wednesday] in a tremendous atmosphere, against a tremendous baseball team, we didn’t react well to that. I just challenged [the team] to see how we react to this, to an embarrassment…against a team in our conference, in our county and in our state section. Only time will tell.”—Head Coach Mickey Ennis
