Dayton wraps up its regular season with a four-game road trip that begins on Tuesday with a non-conference game at Eastern Kentucky. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. ET for a game can be followed with Live Stats at www.DaytonFlyers.com.

The Flyers have hit the home stretch on a sour note as UD has just a 2-11 record in its last 13 games. Dayton also will be looking to improve upon a 10-19 road record this season in its trip to Richmond, Ky on Tuesday.

UD became the first team in Atlantic 10 history and just the 12th team in NCAA history to be hit by pitch 100 times in a single season and have done so at a more rapid rate than any other team. The Flyers have now been punked 102 times in just 50 games played and are the only school in the nation to average at least two batters hit in each game. Dayton has the ninth highest total in collegiate history and reached its current mark in less games than any other team below it in the NCAA Record Book.

Despite the high overall team numbers, Dayton does not have a single player ranked in the top four in the Atlantic 10 Conference in times hit by pitch. Five different Flyers have been hit by pitch at least 10 times including Joe McSoley who has been tagged 13 times. Scott Dunwoody and Michael Massa have been hit 12 times while Jeff Mercer has been hit 11 and Cole Tyrell 10 times.

UD will continue its road trip with a three-game series at Saint Louis, Thursday-Saturday, in games that can be followed with Gametracker at www.DaytonFlyers.com.
