Dayton jumped on Lake County in the first inning. David Vidal got the ball rolling with a shot down the leftfield line scoring a pair of runs. Drew Poulk drove in his first RBI of the night with a single to right field to make 3-0.

Drew Poulk was at it again in the fifth inning, with the bases loaded, Poulk doubled to the ally in left driving in all three runners giving the Dragons a 6-0 lead.
