Justin Reed (.249, 36RBI) earned his reputation as a fan favorite the night of the brawl but tonight he let his bat do the talking for him as he was three for four with three runs scored helping the Dragons take care of the Loons 10-9 on Tuesday night at 5/3 Field.

Not much to report from the mound as the Dayton pitchers gave up nine runs on nine hits. The game will send the boys off to West Michigan (Detroit, 27-30) for a four game set starting on Thursday after a day off for travel tomorrow.

The Dragons now lead the Fort Wayne Wizards (San Diego, 27-30) by four and a half games for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Division of the MWL.

Player update:

Matthew Klinker (West Chester) is having a tough start since being promoted to the high "A" Sarasota Reds. He is 1-2 with a 7.52 ERA in four starts. Matt was easily one of my favorites this season and I am pulling for him to get it going
