  "account": "Dayton Dragons' John Michael Faile shatters franchise record with 31st home run\n\nThe Dayton Dragons broke a record that had stood for over two decades on Saturday night. John Michael Faile, a 26-year-old player, hit a home run in the bottom of the first inning during his team's 9-5 victory over the West Michigan Whitecaps. Faile's 31st home run of his career not only set a new franchise record but also surpassed the previous record set by Chris Williamson in 2002. The Dragons had an impressive week, as they also set a new season record for total runs scored, surpassing the previous high of 730 established in 2000. The team is set to conclude their six-game series with the Whitecaps on Sunday, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m.",
