Game notes

The Dragons bullpen struggled mightily against what is far and away the best team in the league (with a 32-13 record). Dayton took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 6th inning after Jacob Johnson exited the game. In both the 6th and 7th innings the Lugnuts scored 2 runs to put them up 5-3. The Dragons rallied to put up 5 runs in the top of the 8th inning to go up 8-5. Lansing however put up four runs in the bottom of the 9th inning as Carlos Contreras struggled to throw strikes as he walked 3 batters in the 9th and gave up two hits.
