John LaPrise gave left field some action, on the very next at bat, with a hot roller just inside the foul line that sent Cardenas home.
Jake Thomas capped the 5-run sixth with a soaring fly ball to the the testing very heights of Cooley Law's steep right field wall.
The Lugnuts would go onto complete an, 11-0, run with a six-run eighth inning to take a commanding, 14-9, comeback victory over Dayton.
