Juneau took on Buckeye Local in front of a lively crowd.

The Juneau Sled Dogs cruised to a win over the Buckeye Local Panthers, 14-4, at Cincinnati Grounds. Korey Lopez, who is tied for 9th in the SC with a 1.276 OPS, led the way, going 3-for-4 for Juneau. The winner was Juan Madrid, who threw 115 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits. Adrian Leal recorded his 1st save for Juneau.

Juneau won the game in part because of Angel de la Cruz. The catcher ripped a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Sled Dogs ahead, 7-0. For the game, de la Cruz had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We took home the win," said Lopez. "What's not to like?"

The Sled Dogs, at 44-59, sit in 4th place in the Southern Conference West Division.
