It took until the eighth inning, but the Okotoks Dawgs managed to figure out the Edmonton Prospects pitching, as the scored five runs in a 7-2 win to open the WCBL playoffs.

Dane Tofteland homered in the bottom of six to tie the game at two, and then the floodgates opened in the eighth inning with five runs on five hits as the Dawgs lead the best of three opening round series one game to none.

They can wrap it up Friday, August 9, in game two in Edmonton.

If they need a game three, that'll go back in Okotoks Saturday, August 10.
