ABOUT DAYTON (1-5)
Dayton heads to Arkansas to close out February and will face its highest-ranked opponent of the entire season in the No. 5 Razorbacks. The Flyers will send out sophomore R.J. Wagner to the mound on Friday, who has yet to allow a run in 6.2 innings of work, for his first start of the season. He'll be looking to slow down a Razorbacks lineup that averages nearly 10 runs a game, which includes a 32-4 victory over Bucknell in their second game this season.  The Flyers have been solid at the plate this season with three players hitting over .400 and two more hitting above the .300 mark. Junior Pat Meehan has led the charge for the Dayton bats with three home runs in the leadoff spot, while hitting .423 and tying a team-high with six RBI. Sophomore Mitchell Garrity is the other Flyer with six RBI and the Purdue transfer is hitting .348 at the plate. Fellow sophomore Takahiro Yamada has a .450 batting average to open the season, which is tops on the team thus far in 2018. Freshman Riley Tirotta is off to an impressive start to his collegiate career with a .421 batting average, five runs scored and two doubles in six starts at designated hitter.

ABOUT ARKANSAS (5-2)
Arkansas is coming off a 1-2 record at the Tony Gwynn Legacy tournament in San Diego, Calif., including a pair of one-run losses to Cal Poly and San Diego. They started off the season 4-0 with three-game series sweep of Bucknell, which included a 32-4 rout in the series' second game, followed by a 1-0 win over Arizona. The Razorbacks are led by head coach Dave Van Horn, who just secured his 600th victory as the skipper of Arkansas in the team's win over San Diego State in the Gwynn Legacy Classic. Arkansas has three players with multiple home runs already this season, including Carson Shaddy, who is hitting .318 and has a team-high nine RBI. Heston Kjerstad has the team's best batting average with a .409 mark and gets on base at a .567 clip. Matt Cronin, Blaine Knight and Isaiah Campbell are the only three Arkansas pitchers that have thrown more than six innings this season, but they have allowed just three combined earned runs between the three of them. Wednesday starter Caleb Bolden has pitched three innings and has allowed no runs and just two hits.
