Dayton Takes Doubleheader From UMass Baseball
March 29, 2019 | Baseball
Series finale scheduled for Sunday at 11 a.m.
DAYTON, Ohio – University of Massachusetts baseball was defeated by Dayton in both games of a doubleheader on Friday at DP&L Stadium. The sides were originally slated to play a single contest, adding the nightcap in anticipation of inclement weather throughout the weekend. Sunday's series finale has also been moved up to 11 a.m.
Â
Redshirt freshman Collin Shapiro had two hits on the afternoon to reach base for the 18th and 19th straight games, matching Tom Conley's 19-game run in 2012 as the longest by a Minuteman to open a season since that year.

Game 1
Dayton 6, Massachusetts 0
The Flyers capitalized on a pair of defensive errors in their half of the second to take a 1-0 lead. Riley Tirotta reached base on a two-out fielding error in the outfield, moving to second on a wild pitch before a second miscue brought Tirotta home.
Â
In the sixth, UD extended its advantage to four on a three-run home run off the bat of Michael Cleary, before a wild pitch and a double pushed across two more in the eighth.
Â
The win on the mound went to Hunter Wolfe (4-3), who dealt seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts. In spite of the loss, senior Justin Lasko (1-3) did not allow an earned run over the first 5.2 innings of his six-inning start. Lasko struck out six and walked just one batter, scattering seven hits.
Â
Game 2
Dayton 11, Massachusetts 2
The Minutemen jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning, but Dayton answered with a six-run bottom half and would not look back. Freshman Dylan Judd put Massachusetts on the board first, lacing a single up the middle to plate junior Nolan Kessinger, before redshirt junior Thomas Pipolo brought Judd home on a base hit through the left side.
Â
UD pulled away with insurance runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings.
Â
Corey Imbriano (2-0) picked up the win for the Flyers and freshman Kevin Dow (0-3) received the loss. Tyler Henry earned a save in the UD win.
