JT Riddle “Me This” went 2 for 4 and Trey Amburgey reached 3 times, going 1 for 3 with a triple and 2 walks.

Dayton used the heroics of Allen “Mattress” Cerda to come back and win in 8 innings in what was supposed to be game 1 of a double-header. Game 2 was postponed until today. Bryce “Walkin’” Bonnin struggled with his command in his start. He went only 3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits with 4 walks and no strikeouts.
