In game two the Dogs defeated the North Shore Royals 11-1. In the game of the day, the Dogs would battle a Tough Staten Island Titans team defeating them 5-4 in a great pitchers dual. The doggie defense would flash some leather in the 5th and 6th to support a gusty mound performance from Big Dog Piteo to seal the victory.
