#FlyBoys Swept By Bulldogs in Doubleheader, Split Series

UD Fell 11-9 In Game One And 9-8 In Game Two

INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Dayton baseball team found itself on the other side of a doubleheader sweep on Sunday after taking two from Butler on Saturday, falling 11-9 and 9-8 to the Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon Bulldog Park.

The Flyers nearly came back from a six-run deficit in the first game of the day but came up short, then the Bulldogs completed a comeback in game two, getting a walk-off winner to split the series.

GAME ONE
Butler 11, Dayton 9
Despite the Flyers scoring first, Butler jumped ahead when it plated seven unanswered runs to take a commanding lead. 

Dayton battled back with a five-run fourth and scored two more in the ninth thanks to home runs by Mason Dobie and Eddie Yamin IV. The FlyBoys got the tying run aboard in the final frame, but could not break through to tie the score.

BY THE NUMBERS
6 - home runs on the season for Eddie Yamin IV, leading the Flyers
5 - strikeouts for Austin Brush in three innings of work
3 - hits and runs scored in the game for Yamin 
2 - hits, RBI and walks for Nolan Watson, who returned to the lineup this weekend
2 - hits for Mason Dobie, who slugged his fourth homer of the season

GAME TWO
Butler 9, Dayton 8
The Flyers could not hold on to a late lead, as the Bulldogs scored two runs in the home half of the ninth inning to walk off UD for the doubleheader sweep.

Dayton once again showed resiliency, scoring in four consecutive innings and erasing a 6-4 deficit with a four-run fifth. Unfortunately, that would be all the scoring the Flyers would do despite multiple threats, and the Bulldogs came through in the end.

BY THE NUMBERS
4 - extra-base hits for the Flyers (2B - Castillo, Tomaini, MacDougall; 3B - Adair)
4 - RBI for Paxton Tomaini, a season-best
3 - hits in the game for both Paxton Tomaini and Michael Adair, a season-high for both

UP NEXT
Dayton travels to Ohio University for a Tuesday matchup with the Bobcats at Bob Wren Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. The Flyers open Atlantic 10 play this weekend, March 29-31, when they welcome Fordham to the friendly confines of Woerner Field at AES Ohio Stadium for a three-game series.
