The Cameron Dragons are taking a road trip to take on the Midland Trail Patriots at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Cameron is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.3 runs per game this season.
Cameron fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Clay-Battelle on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Cee-Bees by a score of 2-1. Having soared to a lofty 12 runs in the game before, the Dragons couldn't push the score so high this time.
