DRAGONS 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
Manzanero Trio: On April 23 at Lake County, Pabel Manzanero became the fourth player in Dragons history to hit three home runs in one game, and the first to do it in 10 years. Manzanero’s three-homer matched the feats of Wily Mo Pena (2001), Juan Francisco (2007) and Byron Wiley (2009). Manzanero hit a two-run home run in the first inning and added solo homers in the fifth and seventh, going 3 for 5.
Team Cycle: The Dragons hit for the cycle as a team in the sixth inning vs. Great Lakes at Fifth Third Field on April 25. The inning included home runs by Jonathan Willems and Shard Munroe, a single by Morgan Lofstrom, a double by Reniel Ozuna, and a triple by Jay Schuyler, the final hit of the inning. The Dragons scored four runs in the inning and won the game, 8-3.
