KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Dayton baseball team was shut out in the finale of its three-game series with the No. 3-ranked University of Tennessee Sunday, Feb. 26, falling 6-0 to the Volunteers from Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

After a first-inning home run, Tennessee's biggest offensive frame came in the second when it scored four runs on three hits and a Dayton error to jump ahead 5-0. The FlyBoys' bullpen provided the offense a chance to catch up, allowing just one run over the final six Volunteer innings, but Tennessee's pitching proved too strong.

Junior Michael Adair and sophomore Matt Maloney had the Flyers' two hits, with Maloney knocking a double. Dayton managed three other base runners via walk, and Jose Martinez stole a base, but UD was unable to string enough together to break the scoring column.

BY THE NUMBERS
4 - Strikeouts thrown by senior right-hander Anthony Hattrup in his three scoreless and hitless innings
2.1 - Innings tossed in the collegiate debut of freshman Jake Tedesco, who allowed one earned run and strike out one
1 - strikeouts by freshman righty J.J. Gatti in one inning of work
