Today's Game: The Dayton Dragons (affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) meet the Beloit Sky Carp (affiliate of the Miami Marlins) in a doubleheader that includes a rescheduled game (rain-out on Thursday). These are the third and fourth games of the series. This series is now scheduled for five games after Friday's second straight rain-out that will result in one cancelation (a game that cannot be rescheduled).

Last Game: Friday: Canceled, rain. Thursday: Postponed, rain. Thursday's game was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader tonight. The series continues through Sunday, but Minor League Baseball rules prevent doubleheaders on back-to-back dates, preventing the second rained-out game from being rescheduled.

Series Recap to date: Dayton is 1-1 in the series at Beloit, winning 8-5 on Tuesday and losing 5-1 on Wednesday. The Dragons are batting .206 as a team. They have only one extra base hit. The team ERA is 4.24. The Dragons have one error in the series.
