Hot Rods Pin 9-6 Loss on Dayton
Jim Unknown had a good game, but he could not keep the Dayton Dragons from falling, 9-6, to the Bowling Green Hot Rods at Fifth Third Field. The Dayton catcher went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once in the loss. The winner was Rob Byrd, who threw 116 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 6 hits. Bowling Green, now 6-9, is off to a slow start.

Bowling Green used a clutch at-bat from Juan Madrigal to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Hot Rods ahead, 7-1. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager James Hoyt.
