Today's Game: The Dayton Dragons (affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) meet the Lake County Captains (affiliate of the Cleveland Indians) in a doubleheader. These are the second and third games of a four-game series.

During both games of tonight's doubleheader and during Tuesday night's game, the Dragons will conduct a "pass the bucket" process to allow fans to make cash donations to the fund. Additionally, 100 percent of the proceeds from the Dragons 50/50 raffle that would normally go to the Dragons Foundation on both nights will be donated to the fund. The Dayton Oregon District Tragedy Fund was created yesterday by the Dayton Foundation to support the loved ones of the victims in the Oregon District shootings.

The Playoff Chase: With 29 games to play, the Dragons face a four and one-half game deficit in the race for a playoff spot. South Bend is the current wildcard leader.
