Lions Dixon Lost for Year
The doctors have spoken and <Ron Dixon:player#2776> of the <Kentucky Lions:team#7> didn't like what he heard. The 36-year-old right fielder is almost certainly gone for the rest of the year and depending on his progress could miss some of next season as well. Dixon sustained his season-ending injury during the <Illinois Warhawks:team#74> game yesterday at Lions Stadium. He had to leave the game because he hurt himself while running the bases. Today the <Kentucky:team#7> medical staff reported <Dixon:player#2776> had a torn posterior cruciate ligament and would be absent from the lineup for at least 10 months.

In 124 games this year Dixon has posted a .268 average and put up these numbers: 23 home runs, 71 RBIs and 60 runs scored.
