Geneva, IL- The Dayton Dragons (17-26, 47-66) had dropped 10 of their last 11 games on the road and were looking for better results away from Fifth Third Field opening a four game series on Saturday night at Elfstrom Stadium against the Kane County Cougars (21-22, 52-60). The venue was different but the result was the same as Dayton dropped its 11h road game in 12 tries in the first game of the four game series 15-4. Tommy Everidge batted in five runs on the night with a 3 for night performance that included a two run home run and three runs scored.

Dayton got off to a quick start in the top half of the first inning against starter Joe Scott (W, 3-1). Cody Strait drew a lead off walk, stole second and third and scored on a Tonys Gutierrez sac fly and a very short lived 1-0 lead.

Everidge gave KC a 2-1 lead with his 10th homer of the season, a shot to left field. In the second inning, Gregorio Petit hit his seventh of the season in almost the same spot in left. The second two run blast of the game gave the Cougars a 4-1 lead.

The Dragons were blanked by Scott, 6.0 innings, Mike Mitchell (ND) 1.0 inning. Cody Strait picked up a two run home run off Shawn Martinez to close out the game at 15-4.

The scoring in between the Dayton third and ninth innings were all Kane County. The Cougars picked up three runs off Homer Bailey (ND) in the sixth inning to go out in front by a 7-2 score. The first came home on a Bailey balk, the second on an Everidge RBI single and a run scoring ground ball from Jose Pineda.

The Cougars scored six times in the seventh inning off Alexander Farfan (ND), who retired just two hitters before being taken out of the game.
