The Flyers look to break a five-game losing streak this weekend as the 49ers make their first ever trip to Time Warner Cable Stadium for a three-game Atlantic 10 Conference series this weekend. Dayton enters the series in fourth place, but is just one game back of Charlotte which is tied for first with Rhode Island. The Flyers and 49ers will play Friday (3:30 p.m.), Saturday (1:00 p.m.) and Sunday (12:30 p.m.) and all three games can be followed with live audio and Gametracker at www.DaytonFlyers.com.

After winning 14 of 19 games during April, UD enters the weekend in the midst of its longest losing streak since the 2004 season. However, the Flyers are just two wins off last year's record setting pace that saw Dayton win a school-record 36 contests.

The offense has remained for Dayton during its recent losing streak as the Flyers are hitting .295 as a team with 15 extra base hits. UD is averaging just under four runs per game while stealing four bases and holding a .381 on base percentage.

Junior Kyle Lindsay has been solid for UD on the mound this year and will get the start on Friday. He is tied for third in the Atlantic 10 in wins with six and has made eight starts since converting from the bullpen earlier this season. Lindsay is 6-0 with a 4.62 ERA and 48 strikeouts.

Senior righthander Luke Trubee enters a projected start on Saturday looking to reach a career milestone. Trubee is already the all-time career leader at UD in both wins and strikeouts and is just five Ks shy of becoming the first ever Flyer to reach 200. The righthander is 6-6 witha 5.11 ERA and 59 strikeouts over 13 appearances this season.

Fans can enjoy the action at Time Warner Cable Stadium from the luxury suite located behind home plate. Groups of 12 to 15 fans can purchase access to the suite and patio for events and gatherings during UD home games. The group will also receive acknowledgement from the public address announcer and autograph opportunities with UD coaches and players. Options are also available for larger groups.
