Dragons Score Late, Clip Hot Rods, 7-6
The Dayton Dragons defeated the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 7-6. Doing his part was shortstop Sergio Castillo, who went 1 for 2 with a double and 3 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Joe Hill notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record now sits at 1-1. Dayton sits at 3-5 in the early going.

Dayton used a timely hit from Steve Smith to get the win. The right fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dragons ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Smith, "but we got it done."
