This looked like a fun game.  Dayton jumped out to a 4-2 lead only to see it turn into a deficit when Fort Wayne scored three in the fifth.  The Dragons then tied it in the sixth and the game then turned into a pitcher’s duel until Fort Wayne won it in the tenth.  Curtis Partch was roughed up and he gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings while Mike Bohana took the loss when his runner scored in the tenth.

Cody Puckett was the hitting star in the 6-5 loss.  He went three for five with a home run and three RBIs.  Kyle Day went two for four with a double, a walk and a run.

A solid start by Lance Janke went to waste as the Dragons pen fell apart in an 8-3 loss to Fort Wayne.  Janke gave up one run on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings before seeing the game get out of hand.  Andrew Bowman took the loss and he fell to 0-2.  He gave up three runs in 1 1/3 innings while Scott Gafney gave up four runs and he got just one batter out.

David Sappelt went two for five with a double and two runs.  Byron Wiley went two for four with a run.

The Dragons lost a tough one 3-2 to the Chiefs in a game without many fireworks at the plate for the road team.  David Sappelt drove in one of the runs with a solo homer while Tony Brown singled, drew a walk and scored a run.

Matthew Fairel was decent enough in his no-decision start.  He gave up one run on eight hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Andrew Bowman gave up a pair of runs in his single frame and he fell to 0-1.
