“The University of Dayton game against Wright State in 2023 broke the all-time attendance record for a UD home game, a record that had been set the previous year when UD hosted Ohio State at Day Air Ballpark,” says Murphy.

About the Flyers
Dayton features a new head coach in 2025 as Scott Loiseau replaces Jayson King, who coached the Flyers for seven seasons before accepting an assistant coaching position with Vanderbilt University, a perennial contender for College Baseball’s national title. Loiseau comes to Dayton after serving as Associate Head Coach at Penn State. Previously, he spent 14 years as the head coach at Southern New Hampshire University where he posted a winning percentage of an outstanding .696 and made five trips to the Division II College World Series. Loiseau played college baseball at Franklin Pierce University where he was coached by Jayson King, whom he replaces at UD.
Last season’s Flyers team included reliever Nick Wissman, a product of Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton, who was selected in the eighth round of the 2024 draft by the San Diego Padres. Wissman earned Third Team All-America honors in 2024.
"This is such an exciting game for our team," said Dayton head coach Scott Loiseau. "I’ve heard a lot of great stories about playing at Day Air Ballpark since I got here and knowing how much our guys love it is exciting. Day Air Ballpark is a first-class venue run by a great staff. Our guys love everything about the facility and the atmosphere that we can create there, and we’re looking forward to another great game.”
