4 days ago | news-herald.com | Justin Lada

It’s not often a 2-1 game is a wild game, but it’s also not every day it’s Friday the 13th and a chilly 60 in June in Cleveland. But that was the case in Lake County, with all three runs in the Dayton Dragons’ win over the Captains scored on wild pitches. Speaking of wild ride, a year ago, Josh Hartle was finishing a disappointing end to a decorated college career at Wake Forest. His usual strong control and command eluded him in his final college season and his velocity waned a little, too.

The rough at Oakmont is just deep — and thick and hard to escape. Instead of taking a free drop for an embedded ball, Woodland had to replace it where he found it, get out his wedge, take a hack and pray.
