Joining Clementina on the Eastern roster are four other Dragons: first baseman Montrell Marshall, outfielder Stuart Fairchild and pitchers Cory Thompson and John Ghyzel.
The Dragons lost 8-5 at Lake County on Wednesday. Dayton (29-28) was scheduled to complete the three-game road trip at Lake County on Thursday and return to Fifth Third Field on Friday for a four-game home stand against Bowling Green.
Friday’s game is “Defeating Cancer Night.” The Dragons will honor that theme by wearing special jerseys. Players and coaches will autograph those jerseys and a fund-raising auction will begin after the game. The auction will continue for one week. Proceeds will benefit the American Cancer society.
“This will be the first full-team jersey auction in our history and we are pleased to give fans the opportunity to bid on these special jerseys,” said Dragons President and General Manager Robert Murphy in a release.
Clementina (Willemstad, Curacao) leads the Dragons in most significant offensive categories and ranks among the MWL’s top hitters. He was named the parent-club Cincinnati Reds minor league hitter of the month for May (.329 batting average, seven home runs, 20 RBIs).
