QUINCY — Starter Patrick Wajda tossed six innings, and reliever Noah Wilder got out of jams in the eighth and ninth innings as the Doggy Paddlers won their first game in franchise history, a 10-7 decision over the Alton River Dragons on Friday night at QU Stadium.

Wilder inherited runners on first and second with two outs in the top of the eighth on Friday when he struck out pinch-hitter Bret Yarger. In the top of the ninth, Wilder retired the first two batters he faced before giving up back-to-back singles to bring the tying run to the plate.

The River Dragons’ rally ended there. Wilder fielded a ground ball off the bat of Matt Carrano and tossed to first baseman Brady Kindhart for the final out.

Quincy scored twice in the first on an RBI double from Kindhart and a sacrifice fly. The hosts added three runs in the second on a two-run single by Wandel Campana and a balk.

The River Dragons tied the game at 5 with a five-run third inning, then the Doggy Paddlers responded with two runs in the bottom half — one on a Skylar Graham ground out and another on a bases-loaded walk to Campana. Quincy scored again on Christopher Suchoski’s RBI single in the fourth and twice in the fifth to take a 10-5 lead. Jayden Patel’s two-run single in the top of the eighth for Alton made it a three-run game.

Wajda tossed six innings and gave up eight hits and five runs — all in the third inning — while striking out three and walking one to earn the victory.
