Last Game. Wednesday: Dayton 5, West Michigan 2. The Dragons got solo home runs from Yerlin Confidan and John Michael Faile along with strong offensive contributions from Carlos Jorge (2 H, 2B, RBI, R) and Johnny Ascanio (2 H, RBI, R). The Dayton pitching trio of Jose Montero, Cody Adcock, and Easton Sikorski combined to slow down the hot West Michigan hitters. Montero earned the win with a solid five-inning performance, allowing two runs in the second inning but retiring the final 10 batters he faced. Sikorski earned his second save with two scoreless innings.

John Michael Faile has hit safely in seven straight games, going 11 for 29 (.379) with two home runs, three doubles, and five RBI. This is the longest hitting streak of the year for a Dayton player to date.

Peyton Stovall (2024 4th round pick, Arkansas) has reached base safely 12 times in his first six games with Dayton with five hits and seven walks, posting an on-base percentage of .444.

In the Dragons six wins, they have allowed an average of 1.2 runs per game. In the 11 losses, they have allowed 6.7 runs per game.
