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

Last Game: Monday: Game 1: Lake County 13, Dayton 7. Game 2: Dayton 1, Lake County 0. In the first game, five of the first six Dayton batters in the first inning delivered an extra base hit as the Dragons jumped out to a 6-1 lead after one inning, only to see Lake County tie the game 7-7 in the fifth and take the lead with four more runs in the sixth. In the second game, Brian Rey delivered a two-out home run in the bottom of the sixth for the game's only run as Connor Curlis struck out 10 in six innings to match a team season high. Curlis allowed just two hits and walked none.

The Playoff Chase: With 27 games to play, the Dragons face a four game deficit in the race for a playoff spot. South Bend is the current wildcard leader.
