By: by Kyle Edmond, BGSU Athletics

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team concluded their homestand Tuesday evening (April 14) against Dayton at Steller Field. With the wind blowing out for the second straight game, the teams combined for 15 runs over the first three innings with a 9-6 Dayton lead. However, from there the Flyers took over building up to a 19-6 final score in seven innings. The Falcons will now hit the road for their next five games, beginning with a quick turnaround at Canisius Wednesday (April 15).

HOW IT HAPPENED

Dayton scored two in the top of the first for a 2-0 advantage.
The Falcons' response came in the bottom of the second with two runs over three hits. Anthony Mitta led off with a single into right field. TJ Takats followed with an RBI double into left center scoring Mitta. In the next at-bat Pauly Mancino drove in Taktas with an RBI single to right field.
Zack Horky joined Mancino on the base paths, drawing a walk. A sacrifice bunt from Griffin Scheiderer moved both runners, setting up a Lance Vickers sacrifice fly into left field, allowing Mancino to come across to take the lead, 3-2.
The Flyers added seven in the top of the third to take a 9-3 lead.
Andrew DiLodovico led off the bottom of the third with a solo shot over the left field wall. The Falcons continued in the next at-bat with Brayden Curlis lining a double into the right center gap. Mitta stayed hot smacking a two-run homer to right center, cutting the lead to 9-6.
From there, Dayton took over with 10 runs spread across the remaining four innings for the 19-6 final in seven innings.
