Baseball Returns to Day Air Ballpark to Play Wright State

The Flyers Take On The Raiders Tuesday, April 18 At 7 P.M.

DAYTON - For the third consecutive season the University of Dayton baseball team will host a game at Day Air Ballpark, home of the High-A Dayton Dragons. This season, the Flyers will host cross-town foes Wright State University on Tuesday, April 18 at 7 p.m.

Tickets sales for the game begin Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 10 a.m.

"The Flyers and Dayton Dragons have become tremendous partners over the past few years," said Dayton head coach Jayson King. "Last year we broke the attendance record against Ohio State and we plan to do that again in 2023 when we host Wright State. Day Air Ballpark is a first-class venue run by a great staff. Our guys love everything about the facility and the atmosphere that we can create there. It's truly special!"

Tickets are $5.00 for children (14 and under) and $10.00 for adults. Students from both the University of Dayton and Wright State will be admitted free of charge.

The RTA Flyer will be utilized on the evening of the game to provide free shuttles between campus and Day Air Ballpark. Gates will open one hour prior to first pitch. Luxury suites are available.

Robert Murphy, Dragons President & General Manager, says previous UD games at Day Air Ballpark have been a huge success, and he expects this year's game to build on that energy.

"The University of Dayton game against Ohio State at Day Air Ballpark in 2022 set an all-time attendance record for a UD home game, with about 4,000 fans in attendance," said Murphy. "The entire suite level was completely sold out."

"The atmosphere was tremendous with a very energetic crowd," said Murphy. "UD fans on one side of the ballpark in red and blue, and Ohio State fans on the other side wearing scarlet and gray. We expect the same kind of enthusiastic atmosphere this year with Wright State fans wearing their green and gold. We will have a UD pep band, UD cheerleaders, and UD athletes from other sports on hand. We will have special honorary first pitches with university representatives performing the National Anthem and God Bless America."

The Dayton Dragons are the High-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds and play 66 home games at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of Dayton's Water Street District. For ticket information contact the Dragons by calling (937) 228-2287, emailing at dragons@daytondragons.com, or go to daytondragons.com.
