As a matter of fact, Coleman has never had a losing season in 10 previous campaigns with the Dans. But after three straight losses this weekend, a 7-4 setback on Friday night at home to Illinois Valley followed by 12-6 and 9-4 defeats at Chillicothe on Saturday and Sunday respectively, Danville is 12-24 this summer in the Prospect League with just 20 games remaining.
