Dragons Stymie Cincinnati, Take 9-1 Win
The Dallas Dragons rode a solid performance from 34-year-old starting pitcher Steve McClung to a win, beating the Cincinnati Royals, 9-1, at Tennant Healthcare Ballpark. McClung, the winner, moves to 9-10. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 3 walks. Their 63-82 record puts the Dragons last in the American Conference South Division.

Joe Handler had a big solo home run for the Dragons in the bottom of the third inning. With Dallas leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a changeup from Dave Harvey, who is tied for 4th in the NC in complete games with 1, and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Dragons on top, 2-0.

"It was a solid team effort," said McClung after the game.
