Mike Costanzo's HR gives the Bats a 1 - 0 lead. Kristopher Negron hit what should have been a home run, but the ball got stuck on the top of the fence, and was ruled a ground rule double. Bizzare.

There were 342 fans in attendance at the Dayton game. Do they usually draw so few fans? Is that bad attendance for A ball?
Lutz is now at a 1.031 OPS in 90 plate attempts and 21 GP.
Billy Hamilton is leading the league in BA by 20 points. He's also leading the league in obp (by 35+ points) and triples, is second in OPS, and seventh (!) in slugging percentage. His 13 BB are fifth in the league. He has the fifth most totals bases and leads in SB by 14.
Donald Lutz is fourth in doubles, second in homers, tied for third in RBI, 13th in BA, 20th in OBP. He's fourth in slugging percentage and OPS and second in total bases in the California League.
Among starters, Tony Cingrani leads the league in ERA and ER. His 28 Ks is sixth despite having one less start than all but one of those ahead of him. He's first in H/9, 20th in BB rate, and fifth in K/9. His K:BB ratio is seventh.
In response to Dayton drawing so few fans, IIRC they usually sellout, they hold a record for most sellouts in a row, or something, I can only assume the weather was reason for a low turn out, as it looked cold in Cincy, yesterday.
