Keoni Cavaco tossed six sparkling innings in his best start of the season to lead the Chicago Dogs to a 4-1 win over the Cleburne Railroaders. Cavaco allowed just 2 hits, and struck out 3 in 6 innings. The Dogs tppl the lead in the third inning on a T.J. Hopkins home run that traveled 420 feet. Jacob Teter was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning, making it 3-0 Dogs.

The Herald Cup is back. Created by our sports department, and still in its infancy, it debuted last school year as a way to honor athletic excellence among the 80-plus high schools in the Daily Herald coverage area. As we noted the first year, the Herald Cup is reminiscent of the Paddock Cup, the brainchild of our legendary former sports editor, Bob Frisk, to recognize the top overall sports programs in the Mid-Suburban League.
