NKU heads to Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. game against Ohio State before returning to the Buckeye State the following day.  The Norse head into Wednesday and Thursday's contests looking to snap a seven-game losing skid and improve upon their 2-11 overall record.

Dayton is 5-8 on the year after splitting a four-game series against Buffalo.  The Flyers were on the winning side of a 7-5 decision in Sunday's doubleheader before the Bulls posted a 6-3 victory in the nightcap.  In similar fashion, Dayton handed Buffalo a 9-7 loss in Monday's opener, and the Bulls salvaged the split with a 3-2 win.

Alex Harris is batting .277 to lead the Flyers offense, and he leads the team with four doubles.  Harris has driven in four runs and scored a team-high 10 runs, while Zach Schira holds a .267 batting average to go along with two doubles, a team-leading seven RBIs and six runs scored.  Robbie Doring has successfully swiped four bases in as many attempts.

Right-handed pitcher Justin Watts will take the mound for the Norse in his second start of the season.  Watts holds a 5.63 earned run average with seven strikeouts and just one walk.  On the mound for the Flyers will be lefty Mason Kutroff, who is 2-0 on the season with a 3.00 ERA.  He has struck out four batters and walked six over six innings of relief work.

After the Norse head to Wright State on Wednesday, March 18, the Norse will open the home portion of its 2015 schedule the next game against Miami Hamilton.  Links to live stats and John Asalon's audio broadcast for each game will be available at NKUNorse.com.
