DAYTON, Ohio - Dayton saw its six-game win streak snapped at the hands of visiting Ball State on Tuesday in non-conference baseball action at Time Warner Cable Stadium. The Flyers (16-13) look to get back on track with a road game Wednesday at Bowling Green scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.

BSU (17-14) took control of the game early with a five-run first inning, but UD battled back to score five runs on six hits in the contest.

The Flyer trio of Galen Schumm, Joe McSoley and Michael Massa each extended their hitting streaks to a season-best eight games.

Schumm was 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and a three-run homer in the sixth inning. The blast was the fourth of the season for the senior second baseman and the third in the last four games.
