When are enough runs enough?

Neither the Dayton Dragons or the Beloit Snappers seemed to know Tuesday night in a run a thon Class A Midwest League game played before 8,587 fans at Fifth Third Field.

Dayton scored four runs in the first, not enough.

Beloit took the lead with five runs in the fifth. Not enough.

Dayton reacquired the lead with two in the bottom of the fifth. Not enough.

Beloit scored three more runs in the sixth. Not enough.

Then came the lucky seventh when the Dragons scored seven more runs, three on Chris Williamson's long home run to the grassy knoll in right. That appeared to be enough. The Dragons, who recorded a team single game record of 22 hits through eight innings, won 15-9.

The Dragons smacked six consecutive hits to begin the game, marking the franchise's best start ever, but not hte most hits in an inning. Dayton recorded seven hits in an inning twice during the 2000 season.

They tied that record with seven hits in the seventh inning explosion.

Those six hits and four runs in the first provided a good cushion, but not enough.

Beloit starter Mike Jones, the No. 4 rated prospect in the Brewer's chain, was nearly vaporized when William Bergolla began the game with a double, followed by a Noochie Varner single, followed by an Edwin Encarnacion double for a run, followed by a Randy Ruiz triple for two more runs.

Chris Williamson singled home anthoer run, and Jesse Gutierrez also singled before a double play and a fly ball ended Jones' trouble.

Beloit scored a run in the second, but so did Dayton, leaving the Dragons a 5-1 lead.

It all evaporated in the fifth when Beloit scored five runs on five hits and two walks to take a 6-5 lead.

By that time, pitchers were throwing batting practice.

The Dragons scored two runs to retake the lead in the fifth on three hits and a walk, and Beloit answered with three hits, two walks and three runs in the sixth to get it back.
