The Lookouts could only manage 7 singles in the loss while Sean Henry’s lone base hit contributed the 1 rbi in the game.
Pedro Viola made another start in this game. This is the 2nd time Viola has started this season. Viola pitched outstanding last season in relief, posting a 1.42 ERA over 3 levels. He has struggled in relief this season, but now has 2 decent starts under his belt. In this one, Viola went 5 shutout innings, scattering 4 hits and striking out 4. Perhaps it is time to start stretching Viola out into a starter.

Dayton Dragons
The Dragons had the night off. Dayton is 25-18 in the second half of the season. Impressive considering they were 28-40 in the first half. They are 2 games back in the division for the second half standings.

I love this feature, but is there a need to put half of it after a jump? Having to click the link to see the rest of the DOTF notes is annoying.
just my unsolicited two cents…
Something tells me Dickerson can help.
Dragons magic number is 23; they lead Fort Wayne by a full five games for the final playoff spot and start a four game series with them tonight at 5/3. Time to wrap it up
Ordered my playoff tickets last week. Go Dragons!
Maybe the baby Reds can have a postseason!
If I’ve got this figured correctly, Matt Klinker starts tonight for Sarasota. I believe he follows Carroll in their rotation.
I added the jump as a way not to tie up so much space on the front page with this lengthy feature. I know the other contributors do not add the jump, so if the readers would rather there not be one, then your wish is granted!
The Dragons just announced that Kyle Lotzkar suffered a fracture of the right ulna (elbow bone).
I vote for no jump as well.
I’m pro jump. Just sayin’.
