For the second day in a row, Edward Yamin belted a two-run home run into the berm in the top of the first inning to give Dayton (3-10) an early 2-0 lead. Yamin drew a warning from the umpires after his bat-flip was deemed to be excessive, but also warranted.
The Flyers didn’t have much to flip about the rest of the afternoon as that would be their last hit on Saturday.
Greg Farone made his second career start for the Cards but was forced to exit after 4.2 innings due to cramping. Farone allowed 2 runs on one hit, while striking out 5 batters along the way.
