Francis gives up two in the 3rd.

Louisville is down 7-0 in the middle of the 7th. Probably not going to pull this one out.

Corky Miller prepping for the day he will manage Slidin' Billy. He draws a leadoff walk, steals second and then scores on two groundouts. 7-1.

Dayton line up
Theo Bowe DH
Juan Perez SS
Ryan Wright 2B
Robert Maddox 1B
Juan Silva LF
Yovan Gonzalez C
Kyle Waldrop RF
Junior Arias 3B
Jefry Sierra CF

Theo Bowe led off with a single. He moved to second on a ball to left by Perez (not sure if it was scored a hit or error). A sac bunt was pulled back and the ball was in the dirt and Bowe took off to third. The catcher tried to throw him out and tossed it into left. 1-0 Dragons. Robert Maddox pulls one through the infield and brings in another one. 2-0.

What's the story on Maddox? He's had some decent power numbers so far, but he's old for such low levels and I always take Billings numbers with a grain of salt. Is he a legit LH power prospect and is he limited to 1B? His numbers look good.

[dougdirt]

While I have only seen a handful of his at bats, the power is legit, but his discipline is very poor by looking at the numbers. He is probably limited to first. He was an outfielder in the past and has been moved to first. Doubtful that they make that move if he was able to stick in the outfield.

I'm here! Trying to keep warm.

Good luck! It is not warm out there.

Here is the Pensacola Blue Wahoos lineup, with Curtis Partch on the mound.

Ryan LaMarre CF
Yordanys Perez DH
Henry Rodriguez 3B
Joel Guzman 1B
Brodie Greene 2B
Josh Fellhauer RF
P.J. Phillips LF
Brian Peacock C
Miguel Rojas SS

[dougdirt]

Dayton puts another one on the board on an error on the catcher/left fielder. A single and a throw home to get the runner was easily there by 5-10 feet, but the catcher let the ball get by him and the run scored. Dayton up 3-0.

[dougdirt]

Pensacola gets on the board with a LaMarre single, Perez sac bunt and Joel Guzman RBI single.
