South Bend scored 8 times, in the ninth inning, before the Dragons recorded an out, and beat the Dragons 9-2 in the first game of a three game series.

Last night was an historical night at Fifth Third Field for the Dayton Dragons.

3 pitchers, Scott Moss, Carlos Machorro and Brian Hunter, combined to throw the first 9 inning no hitter in franchise history. Johnny Cueto threw a 5 inning no hitter, at Wisconsin, in 2006.

Moss pitched the first 6 inning followed by Machorro who pitched 2 innings and Hunter came in to finish it out in the ninth.

Hector Vargas got the scoring started in the second inning when he singled in Cassidy Brown from 3rd base. An inning later Tyler Stephenson knocked in T.J Friedl with a double to right center.

That would all the Dragons would need to win their 29th game of the season and remain in first place in the Midwest Leagues Eastern Division and still have the most wins in the entire minor league system.

The Dragons close out their brief 4 game home stand today at 2:00 pm when JD Busfield (3-2) goes for Bowling Green and Wennington Romero (3-1) goes for the Dragons

March Madness is fast approaching, and everyone is obsessing over who’s going to make the field of 68. Everyone and their mother seems to have their own bracketology page nowadays. And while a lot can happen between now and selection Sunday, it’s still fun to speculate.

Once the bracket is in place though, the fun part is dissecting and predicting exactly what’s going to happen. Bracket analysis shows everywhere and family and office pools run rampant. You can’t miss it! This is where I come in.

Recently, I learned the black science/art of Machine Learning. It’s a form of Artificial Intelligence that gets a computer to do something without specifically programming it to do so. There are tons of examples of this everywhere. But I figured I’d put this newfound knowledge to something more pointless and fun. Namely, taking said NCAA bracket and using machine learning to pick the bracket!
