Win Makes Bowling Green 38-29
At Fifth Third Field, the Dayton Dragons and Bowling Green Hot Rods were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Starting pitcher Rob Byrd was a major factor in the 8-2 Bowling Green Hot Rods triumph over the Dayton Dragons. The win puts Bowling Green at 38-29 this season.

Bowling Green used a clutch at-bat from Ben Ackerman to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Hot Rods ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Byrd.
