Kernels Dealt 8-3 Loss by Dayton
Dayton first baseman Hank Howell contributed significantly to his team's 8-3 win over the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Howell, who is tied for 7th in the MID in doubles with 26, went 1 for 3 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Dragons. With the win over Cedar Rapids, the Dragons improved to 39-54.

With Dayton leading 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Howell came up to bat against Cedar Rapids pitcher Luis Gómez. Howell hit a curveball to right for a grand slam home run. His 7th home run of the season put the Dragons on top, 6-1.

"That was not our best effort," said Cedar Rapids skipper George Trenwith.
