Wednesday | 3:00 pm ET: LHP Evan Sisk (9-3, 2.85 ERA, 75 K) vs. LHP Michael James (1-0, 2.17 ERA, 23 K)
Game Preview
The Cougars and Pride meet for the fourth time this season in the opening round of the CAA Tournament. Hofstra swept the regular season series in Hempstead, N.Y. to cut the Cougars' lead in the all-time series to 9-7.
Last Time Out
The Cougars split a rain-shortened weekend series at UNCW with a 6-5 win on Friday after the Seahawks walked off with a 6-5 victory in Thursday's opener. Ari Sechopoulos paced the Cougars with a home run and four RBIs in the two-game set.
Best In Show
Dupree Hart has been a veritable vacuum cleaner at second base for the Cougars this season, and his work with the leather was rewarded in a big way on Tuesday when he was named the CAA Defensive Player of the Year. The 5-foot-7 junior made only three errors in 52 games while fielding at a .988 clip.
CAA Accolades
The Cougars placed seven players on the All-CAA teams, highlighted by a pair of First Team selections in Luke Morgan and Defensive Player of the Year Dupree Hart. Danny Wondrack, Bradley Dixon, Evan Sisk, and Carter Love each earned a spot on the Second Team, while Logan McRae was selected to the Third Team.
Watch For Them
Carter Love and Evan Sisk received special distinction over the weekend after both being named to the College Baseball Foundation's National Pitcher of the Year Watch List. The Cougars joined Florida and Stetson as one of three teams with two selections, while the CAA accounted for five of the 20 players on the list.
Scouting Hofstra
The Pride enter the CAA Tournament with a 23-21 record and a 12-12 mark in league play. Hofstra ranked fourth in the CAA during the regular season with a 3.51 ERA.
Vito Friscia paces the Pride with six home runs, 30 RBIs, and a .352 batting average to earn a spot on the All-CAA First Team. CAA Pitcher of the Year John Rooney leads the team with an 8-1 record and a 1.01 ERA while allowing just 45 hits in 89 innings.
