Rangers Sniff Out Sox, 8-1

  A three-day, seven inning affair with the Beavercreek Sox was all it took to give the Dayton Rangers a season series win over the Sox for the first time since taking 2 of 3 in 2004.

      Sunday afternoon saw the Rangers take a 5-1 lead before mother nature intervened and force a postponement until Tuesday night. Brad Clark started on Sunday for the Rangers and had one of his better outings this season. Clark pitched four innings for the win, struck out five, and allowed only three hits. Matt Hood shut out the Sox on one hit over the final three innings for his first career save as a Ranger.

      Clint Wolf provided the firepower for the Rangers offensive attack, going 4-for-4 with a triple, his fifth of the season, and 5 RBIs. Joe Staten doubled and scored twice. Jonmarc Lippincott added to his league-leading RBI total driving in two runners and raising his season output to 27.
