DAYTON - Reigning Atlantic 10 Freshman of the Week Eddie Yamin IV smacked a two-out, two-run double to lift the University of Dayton baseball team to a 7-5 victory over the University of Miami at Woerner Field at AES Ohio Stadium Wednesday, March 8.

The RedHawks had just gotten to the Dayton bullpen in the top of the eighth to tie the score at 5-5 when the #FlyBoy offense went to work. Senior Ben Jones led off with a walk and went first-to-third on a single by fellow senior Marcos Pujols. With David Pedanou pinch-running for Pujols and on the move with the pitch, Yamin laced a double to left-center field to give UD the 7-5 lead.

Reliever Parker Bard bridged the gap from the starter to the back end of the bullpen with five strong innings of work. The junior tossed five frames of one-hit ball, striking out eight and only walking one. Junior Nick Wissman picked up the win while Matthew Johnson registered his first save.

BY THE NUMBERS
12 - free passes drawn by Dayton batters, 10 walks and two hit-by-pitch
11 - strikeouts by Flyer pitching, the fifth double-digit strikeout effort of the season
