Spider Baseball Drops Series Finale to Dayton
05/04/2024 | Baseball
RICHMOND, VA. – The Richmond Baseball team dropped Saturday's Atlantic 10 Conference contest 6-3 to Dayton at Pitt Field.
Richmond, now 21-26 on the season and 10-8 in league play, heads out on the road for the next four games. UR will first take on Towson Tuesday in midweek action before traveling north to face Rhode Island in weekend A-10 action.
Spider starter Kyle Roche worked around two baserunners in the first two innings to keep the Flyers off the board and struck out four.
Richmond scored first in the bottom of the second, jumping out to a 2-0 lead. DJ Pacheco led off with a base hit then advanced to third on Jack Arcamone's double. With Zach Lass at the plate, Pacheco scored on a wild pitch for UR's first run. Arcamone then scored on Lass' groundout for the Spiders second run.
Dayton responded with two runs in the top of the third, taking advantage of two hits and a UR miscue. The Flyers tacked on two runs in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead. The Spiders got out of the fourth on a heads up play when Jordan Jaffe threw out a Dayton runner at the plate.
Roche handed the ball over to Dane Armson in the fifth. Roche was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs, two earned, on seven hits and five strikeouts over four innings of work.
Armson used seven pitches to retire the Flyers in the fifth before getting lifted in the sixth with one out and the bases loaded. Cole Hentschel allowed one inherited run to score but got out of the jam. Hentschel allowed a single run in the sixth but induced a ground ball double play to third to limit the damage.
Brian Reinke took the mound in the eighth. He struck out the first batter he faced, then stranded two to keep the Flyers off the board.
With two outs in the eighth, Jaffe scored from first on Pacheco's double to left center to make it 6-3.
Reinke struck out the first batter of the ninth. Ethan Sannes used one pitch to get the second out and Harrison Clifton struck out the final Flyer of the ninth.
Lass got a one out base hit in the ninth but was double up on a line drive to end the game.
