Box Score
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The University of Dayton baseball team took on USC-Upstate Sunday in Spartanburg, S.C. and was unable to win two in a row, suffering a 13-2 loss to the Spartans.

The Flyers were looking to carry momentum over from their dominant 14-5 victory over Wofford on Saturday against a previously winless Spartan team on Sunday.

Dayton was the only team able to get runners on base through the first two innings, but the USC-Upstate defense left the runners stranded.

The Spartans managed to get a runner on third in bottom of the third with less than two outs, but a nice 4-6-3 double play by the Flyers ended the inning and the USC-Upstate threat.

In the top of the fourth, senior Robby Sunderman walked, junior AJ Ryan singled, and both runners advanced to second and third. That is when Saturday's hero sophomore Aaron Huesman stepped up and ripped a single to left, scoring both Sunderman and Ryan. Dayton took a 2-0 lead in a tight ball game.

USC-Upstate got the runs back in the bottom half of the inning however on a two-run home run Zach Krider. That moved the score to 2-2 heading into the fifth.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Spartans were able to take a 7-2 lead after an error, four straight singles, and a wild pitch led to a five-run rally for USC-Upstate. Three of those runs were unearned.

The Spartans went on to add two more runs to their tally in the seventh, making it a 9-2 game in their favor.

A grand slam by USC-Upstate in the eighth all but wrapped-up the game for the Spartans as they extended their advantage to 13-2.

After the offense stalled in the fourth, Dayton was unable to mount enough of a comeback to catch the Spartans and dropped the second game of the season.

Senior Joe Wahl (0-1) got the start for Dayton and went 5 1/3 innings with four earned runs allowed and three strikeouts. He suffered the loss for the Flyers.

Dayton committed five errors in the contest, which resulted in four unearned runs. USC-Upstate scored 11 of their runs in their final three at-bats.

Offensively for the Flyers, Huesman led the way with a 2-for-3 outing and two RBI while Ryan went 2-for-3 as well.

The Flyers (1-1) will finish up competition at the Spartanburg Classic on Monday at 12 p.m. when they take on Ball State.
