The Dragons were shutout in games Thursday and Saturday, sandwiched around a game on Friday at Wisconsin when they scored 12 runs on 18 hits.

The Dragons are 1 for 18 with runners in scoring position in their three losses on the current road trip, and 7 for 18 in their lone win.

The Dragons 3.49 ERA in the month of July is considerably better than the MWL average for the full season (3.87), but in an indication that July has been a good month for pitchers throughout the league, the Dragons July ERA ranks ninth among the 16 MWL teams.
