Dayton Dragons News Release


Dayton, Ohio - Josue De Paula hit two home runs and the Great Lakes Loons collected 16 hits on the way to a 13-5 win over the Dayton Dragons on Saturday night.

A crowd of 8,420, the largest of the year for the Dragons, was in attendance at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District.

Game Summary:

With 14-year Major League veteran Wade Miley on the mound for Dayton on an injury rehab assignment, Loons outfielder Josue De Paula connected on a two-run home run in the first inning and added a solo homer against Miley in the third as the Loons built an early 3-0 lead.

Miley had some good moments, striking out six of the 11 batters he faced. He retired eight straight hitters after De Paula's first inning homer without a ball leaving the infield. Miley threw 47 pitches, going two and two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and three runs with no walks and six strikeouts.

The Dragons trailed 4-0 before scoring a run in the fifth when they collected their only hit of the night, a double by Connor Burns. Burns eventually scored from third on a groundout to make it 4-1. The Dragons scored another run in the sixth without a hit and trailed 5-2 going to the seventh before Great Lakes pulled away with runs in their last three innings. Dayton scored three runs in the eighth, taking advantage of two walks, an error, and a hit batsman in the inning.

Dragons hitters received 11 walks and two hit batsmen in the game but struck out 14 times and went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.

Leo Balcazar drew three walks and scored two runs for the Dragons.
