BGSU Concludes Midweek Road Schedule Wednesday At Dayton

DAYTON, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team travels south on Wednesday (May 1) to face the University of Dayton at 3 p.m. at Woerner Field At DP&L Stadium. The ballgame will be Bowling Green's final midweek road game of the 2019 season.

Wednesday's game will stream live on ESPN+. The Bowling Green Radio Sports Organization (BGRSO) will broadcast the game, while live stats will be provided by Dayton Athletic Communications.

Bowling Green will conclude its midweek schedule next week with a home game versus Purdue Fort Wayne on May 7 at 3:05 p.m. BGSU has three more Mid-American Conference weekends remaining, including back-to-back series at Steller Field on the horizon against Central Michigan and Kent State.

Bowling Green is currently three games back of a spot in the MAC Tournament, but the Falcons have an opportunity to climb multiple spots in the standings this weekend. BGSU is currently in ninth place, but has the same amount of wins as both Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan. Ohio (9-9) owns the six seed, but faces the top two teams in the league – Miami and Ball State – over the next two weeks.

COACH SCHMITZ QUOTE
"As the regular season winds down, I expect our team to embrace each opportunity. Dayton is a good program, and they are playing extremely well this season. We beat them earlier in the year, so I expect them to be ready to go. We will be looking to play a strong game to give us some momentum heading into a big weekend at home against Central Michigan."

PROBABLE STARTING PITCHERS
Bowling Green: LHP David Stopp (1-1)
Dayton: RHP Corey Imbriano (0-0)

A LOOK BACK: FALCONS BEAT DAYTON ON APRIL 3 AT STELLER FIELD
The Falcons jumped on Dayton right away, scoring seven runs over the first two innings – including a five-run first – to take a 7-0 lead. BGSU went on to score one run in the fifth, before a pair of two-run frames in both the sixth and seventh innings.

Dayton plated three in the fourth inning, and then a three-run home run in the seventh capped a four-run frame. Dayton scored the final run of the ballgame in the eighth, but the Flyers were never able to get within two runs after BGSU's big start.

Mike Malewitz, Dylan Dohanos and Jake Wilson – Bowling Green's top three batters in the lineup – each had three hits. Malewitz and Dohanos had two RBI, while Wilson drove in one run. Brad Croy's two-RBI single in the first allowed him to finish the contest with two RBI.

The Falcons recorded 14 hits in the game, and held the Flyers to just five hits. Gage Schenk hurled 2.0 hitless innings and posted three punch outs. Schenk started and was credited with the victory due to being on a pitch count.
