The suspended game resumed Saturday night in West Michigan and was followed by the regularly scheduled nine-inning game.
West Michigan collected just two hits in the first game but pulled out a 2-1 win, limiting the Dragons to three hits. Dayton’s only run came on a Quin Cotton RBI double in the sixth that pulled the Dragons to within a run.
In the second game, Dayton scored five runs in the top of the first inning, keyed by a three-run home run by James Free. West Michigan battled back and trailed 5-3 after three innings before the Dragons scored two runs in the fifth to extend their lead to 7-3. Victor Ruiz’s run-scoring double was the big hit in the inning. West Michigan picked up one run in the bottom of the fifth to make it 7-4 as the inning ended at 12:52 a.m.
Minor League Baseball rules do not allow any inning to begin after 12:50 a.m. under most circumstances.
