Hamilton struck out in his first at bat on a bunt attempt.

The Drew Cisco bandwagon is ready to board. Today: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. His previous start: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K.
Jesus Adames has been sharp in relief, and Billings leads 3-0 in the eighth. Zach Vincej's two hits put him at .425. Robert Maddox has homered.

Ismael Guillon made his first appearance for Dayton, and it looked like this: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K. Yowsa.
The Dragons won, 5-1. Waldrop doubled and homered. Silva whacked a pair of doubles.
And speaking of hot pitchers, Wirfin Obispo is going today for Pensacola. He has been ace-like in his last five starts. (He's had only had six.)
First-place Billings closed out the shutout, 5-0. Cisco, Adames and Chacin combine on a 2-hitter. Carlos Sanchez was 2-2. Daniel Pigott, who has been hitting cleanup, drove in 3.

Hamilton walked and was picked off in the third. The record isn't coming easily.

Good news: Hamilton singles to reach base again on his third at-bat.
Bad news: There were runners at first and second, so now with the bases loaded, there's no base open to steal.

A single brings home two runners. Hamilton is now at second base with one out and an unobstructed view of third base. There's a pitching change currently, so Hamilton will have to wait for his opportunity for the 144th swipe of the season.

Billy Hamilton is getting better with the bat. He's not the same player we saw 20 games ago.
