The Okotoks Dawgs were 7-3 losers Tuesday night at the hands of the Fort McMurray Giants.

It's just the second time this year the Giants have got the better of the Dawgs.

Not a bad night for Dawgs hitters though as Brendan Rose, Michael Gretler and Blake Rowlett all had doubles, while Josh McIntyre smacked a triple.

They just couldn't cash in a lot of those runners.

The loss cuts the Dawgs lead over the Medicine Hat Mavericks to just a single game in the WMBL's West Division as the two battle it out for top spot.

The Dawgs and Giants play game two of their three game series Wednesday night in Okotoks, starting at 7:05 at Seaman Stadium.
