SEATTLE - Washington pitcher Mike Bomar lost his bid for a no-hitter with two outs in the eighth inning, but still held on to beat Dayton, 3-2, Saturday afternoon at Husky Ballpark.
Bomar (1-3) had allowed 22 hits in nine innings this season coming into the game, but hadn't allowed one Saturday until Mark Schulte lifted a clean double down the left field line with two out in the eighth inning. Bomar, a junior lefty from Vancouver, Wash., went on to throw a complete-game two-hitter, allowing one earned run and one walk while fanning 12 batters, a career-high.
The Huskies (5-9) handed the Flyers (3-12) their 12th straight loss in a game that featured a howling cross-wind nearly all game. The start of the game was delayed 48 minutes due to earlier rain.
Washington scored all three of its runs in the first inning. Matt Hollod walked and Todd Linden reached on an error before junior Daniel Jahn belted a line drive over the right field fence with two outs for his first homer of the season.
Dayton scored a run in the first when Schulte led off the game by reaching on a two-base error. He moved to third on a flyout and scored on Shawn Bolinger's groundout.
In the eighth Schulte's double drove home Nate Winkelfoos, who had walked, with Dayton's second run. In the ninth, the Flyers had a runner at third with two outs when Bomar coaxed a high-chopper to third from Brent Berigan. UW third baseman Michael Done had to charge to make the play and toss across his body to first, where Ed Erickson scooped up the short-hop throw for the final out of the game.
Starter Nick Hahnenberg (1-2) suffered the loss for Dayton. UD reliever Kris Bracken worked the final five innings, allowing no runs on three hits while fanning six.
The Flyers and Huskies close out the three-game series Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
