Offense Powers #FlyBoys Sweep of Doubleheader at Butler

Dayton Pounded 17 Runs On 21 Hits

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The University of Dayton baseball team slugged its way to a doubleheader sweep of Butler on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Bulldogs 9-7 in game one and coming back to win 8-2 in the nightcap at Bulldog Park.

Both starters for the #FlyBoys pitched magnificently, as game one starter Eli Majick went seven innings and struck out eight while allowing just one earned run. Game two saw freshman Connor Fennel twirl a gem, as he also struck out eight in 6.1 innings and allowed just two earned runs while walking only one.

GAME ONE
Dayton 9, Butler 7
Dayton wasted little time getting ahead, scoring a pair of runs in the second inning. The Flyers added two runs in the third, three more in the third, and added single runs in both the seventh and eighth innings.

Butler rallied with two outs in the ninth, eventually plating six runs and putting the tying runs on base, but senior Nick Wissman shut the door to pick up his fourth save of the season.

BY THE NUMBERS
8 - strikeouts for Eli Majick, a season-high
5 - innings the Flyers scored
4 - saves on the season for Nick Wissman
3 - hits and RBI in the game for Eddie Yamin IV
2 - strikeouts for senior Anthony Hattrup
2 - runs scored by Carlos Castillo, David Pedanou and Yamin

GAME TWO
Dayton 8, Butler 2
The Flyers continued to manufacture runs in game two of the doubleheader, scoring runs in the first, second, third, fifth and sixth innings.

UD's big blast came from Eddie Yamin IV, who launched a two-run home run as the exclamation point of the sixth inning.

Fennell's 6.1-inning performance was the best of his career, with his eight strike outs also registering as a career-high. Junior Michael Fortes threw the final 2.2 innings, striking out three and allowing just two baserunners via hit.

BY THE NUMBERS
5 - home runs on the season for Eddie Yamin IV, tying him for the team lead.
3 - FlyBoys with multi-hit games (David Mendez, David Pedanou, Eddia Yamin)
2 - runs scored by Ivan Arias, Pedanou, Yamin and Ryan MacDougall
