SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Visiting Dayton completed a doubleheader sweep of Wofford with a 5-2 victory Saturday in non-conference baseball action at Russell C. King Field.

Redshirt sophomore Joe McSoley led the Flyers at the plate with a pair of two-run home runs as part of a 2-for-4 performance.

The Terriers then tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth when with one out single to center by Zach Pittman and then scored on a Scott Holloway double to the right centerfield wall. Trubee held off the charge from Wofford as he struck out Eric Sturkie and retired the side on a fielder's choice off the bat of David Long.
