Captains Defeat Dragons, 5-4
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

Lake County beat Dayton at Classic Park, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to designated hitter Dave O'Neill. He went 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win gives Lake County a record of 2-1.

The Captains got a clutch hit from second baseman Phil Cooper. In the bottom of the 12th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Captains.

"He who laughs last laughs best," O'Neill said, postgame.
