One night after hitting first professional home run, Justin Lebron hit a grand slam in the second inning to pace Dayton to a 6-5 win.
In his first pre-season game, Ty Simpson was 21-for-25 for 190 yards and 2 touchdowns.
With a pair of 66s today, Davis Shore (T4) and Robby Shelton (T6) remained in contention after three rounds at the Albertsons Boise Open. The pair are 4 and 5 shots back, respectively.
