#UDSB PICKS UP TWO WINS VERSUS BONNIES IN A-10 OPENER

Flyers Have Now Won Six Straight

DAYTON, Ohio – The University of Dayton softball team (17-9, 2-0 A-10) got Atlantic 10 play started out right with a doubleheader sweep of the St. Bonaventure Bonnies (4-11, 0-2 A-10) on Saturday afternoon at UD Softball Stadium. Dayton has now won six straight and 11 of its last 12.
 
Game One: Dayton 3, St. Bonaventure 1
 
Dayton took game one of the doubleheader after a stellar pitching performance from Kayla English.  The senior went five innings of two-hit ball, striking out seven, earning her team-high seventh win of the season. 
 
Freshman Manda Cash came in to finish out the final two innings, earning her second save of the season.  She only allowed one hit, and struck out two.
 
The Bonnies got the scoring started in the second inning on a throwing error by junior catcher Katherine Hess on an attempted steal with a runner on third.
 
Hess atoned for her error with an RBI single in the third to tie the game.  Later in the inning, the Flyers would grab the lead on a wild pitch by Bonnies pitcher Josie Borysevicz and then a sacrifice fly by senior Tiffany Ricks.
 
Hess, sophomore Gabrielle Snyder, and freshman Kailee Budicin all had two hits in the game, while Snyder and freshman Jaclyn Kweder both had doubles.
 
Game Two: Dayton 8, St. Bonaventure 3
 
Dayton got things started early with a seven-hit, eight-run first inning.  Snyder got things started with an RBI single.  Budicin followed with an RBI single of her own.  UD got another run on a double steal that scored Ricks.
 
The Flyers picked up three more on RBI singles from sophomore Hannah DeSalvo and junior Kennedy Haynes, as well as a Bonnies error that would chase their starter. 

Mariano capped off the big inning with a three-run homerun, her fourth on the season.
 
SBU got runs back in the third and sixth innings, but it was not enough to overcome the first-inning deficit.
 
Snyder went the distance on the mound, only giving up the three runs and striking out five.  She earned her fourth win on the season.
 
As a team, Dayton finished with 12 hits including three doubles and also accumulated four walks.  Haynes, DeSalvo, Ricks and Mariano all had multiple-hit days.
 
Dayton continues Atlantic 10 play tomorrow with the conclusion of the three-game set against St. Bonaventure.  First pitch is scheduled for noon.
