Twice as Nice: Juneau Extends Lead to 2-0 With Walk-off Win
A big day at the plate from third baseman Steve Taylor was not enough to keep the Juneau Sled Dogs from extending their lead in the Division Series. The Sled Dogs topped Taylor and the Riverside Wolverines, 10-9, at Sled Dogs Ballpark in Game 2, and now hold a 2-0 edge in the best-of-7 series. Taylor went 4-5 with a home run and 3 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 6 in the loss.

Juneau got a knockout punch from Travis Eubanks. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Eubanks.

The next game is set to be played for Saturday, September 12th , 2026 at Wolverines Ballpark in Riverside.
