Dragons Earn Clutch Win, 4-3
The Dayton Dragons had to overcome a big game from West Michigan second baseman Joe Pettifer to leave Fifth Third Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 4-3. Pettifer was 4-5 with 4 singles. Alex Phillips earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. Dayton has run its win streak to 5 consecutive.

San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic-born Jorge Duarte came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Dragons trailing 3-2, he hit a 2-run single to center to put Dayton on top.

"I felt good up there," said Duarte. "I saw the ball well."
