Lansing 2-0 Losers to Dragons
Dayton beat Lansing on the strength of starting pitcher Dominic Blake's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 2-0. In 5.2 innings, Blake surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. The win lifted the Dayton record to 60-60.

In the bottom of the fifth, with the game tied, Lansing allowed the Dragons to go up, 2-0, on a Lansing error.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Blake. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
