Furman opens the 2017 season against Dayton with a weekend series scheduled for Latham Stadium beginning today at 4 p.m. The Paladins swept a three-game series against the Flyers last February.
Dayton is coming off a 19-36 season in 2016 and finished 11th in the Atlantic 10 Conference at 8-16. The Flyers were picked to finish 12th in this year's preseason A-10 poll.
Senior outfielder Robbie Doring, who started every game last season, looks to lead Dayton offensively. In 2016, Doring hit .264 and led the Flyers in runs (40), doubles (13), home runs (8), RBIs (36) and stolen bases (10).
The lone returning weekend starter for Dayton is sophomore right-hander Austin Cline, who was 4-4 with a 4.00 ERA last season. Also back is sophomore left-hander Tyler Henry, who led the Flyers in ERA (3.06) and went 4-1 in 22 appearances (three starts) last year. Cline and Henry shared the team lead in wins.
Saturday and Sunday games are each scheduled for 1 p.m.
