Dallas Dragons Baseball 6-9 Newport

The Dallas Dragons couldn't quite keep pace in a slugfest at Newport Monday afternoon, falling 9-6 in non-league baseball action. Both teams combined for 15 runs in what turned into an offensive showcase on the coast.

The Dragons showed they could swing the bat, putting up six runs against Newport pitching, but ultimately couldn't match the Sailors' nine-run output. Dallas managed to stay competitive throughout the contest, suggesting the team's bats are starting to come alive as the season progresses.

The loss drops Dallas to 1-2 on the young spring campaign, but there were encouraging signs in the offensive performance. Getting into double digits in hits and runs against quality non-league competition should provide confidence moving forward.

The Dragons will look to build on the positive offensive showing while tightening up defensively as they continue their spring schedule. Dallas returns home for their next contest, hoping to even their record and carry the hitting momentum into league play.
