Â
The Flyers prevailed 11-5 and ended Davidson's win streak at 10 games. The Wildcats also saw their home winning streak stopped at 21 games, one shy of the nation's best active mark (Wright State).
Â
John Hosmer and Ruben Fontes each hit their eighth home runs of the season Sunday, as the Wildcats closed the series with 10 blasts, with half coming from the duo of team leaders.
Â
On Sunday, Hosmer's solo shot sailed out to right in the first to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead. It was his second homer of the series, after he hit a two-run shot in Saturday's 12-9 win.
Â
Fontes went deep for the third straight game, this time with a solo blast to right center to make it 5-0 in the third.
Â
Dayton scored in all but one inning from there, however, including three runs in the fourth and four in the fifth, taking the lead on a three-run homer by Riley Tirotta.
Â
Up Next
The Wildcats will visit VCU for a four-game A-10 series next weekend, beginning Friday, April 16 in Richmond, Va.
