The road has not been kind to the Okotoks Dawgs over the first two games of the season as they dropped their second straight to the Mavericks in Medicine Hat, this time 5-3.

Okotoks native Peter Hutzal continues to impress for the Dawgs though as he was 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI in the loss.

Bruce Yari and Drake Kirkwood, were both 2-for-3, while Connor Ridley was handed the loss in his first appearance for the Dawgs as he pitched four innings giving up three runs on eight hits with a couple of strike-outs.

Christian Parsons was strong in relief as he threw 2.2 innings striking out three and not allowing a hit.  

The Dawgs play their home opener Friday night against the Fort McMurray Giants.
