He has been very, very impressive since signing. I look for him to get a long look next spring but still probably begin the season in Chattanooga with a chance to reach the majors late in the season.

Dayton won 6-3.

Jones: 1-for-4 HBP
Cozart: 1-for-5
Soto: 2-for-4 sac fly, 2 RBI

Dayton's magic number has been cut to four and could drop to three if Fort Wayne loses tonight.

Billings has also clinched and Dayton has a three game lead (four if Fort Wayne loses) with six games left. Everybody else missed the playoffs.

Stubbs: 1-for-3 walk
Anderson: 1-for-4

Ah okay, thanks. Dayton has a really good following for Single A, thats all I know, big attendance there over the years. I'm surprised they're not Double A and Chatanooga relegated to single A

[OnBaseMachine]

Buchholz is 2-for-2.

Red's EST is an operation, separate from and independent of GCL and FSL teams...fwiw

Fort Wayne lost last night so Dayton's magic number to clinch a playoff berth is now just three games. They lead the wild card by 3.5 with just six games to play.
