Baseball Welcomes Hofstra For CAA Series

TOWSON, Md. - The Towson University baseball team returns to conference action as they welcome Hofstra to Schuerholz Park March 30-April 1. The series opener is set for 3 p.m., with a 1 p.m. first pitch set for Saturday and Sunday.

Weekend Weather
Rain should be out of the forecast by mid Friday morning. Temps will be around 60 for the series opener, then be in the 50s for the final two games.

Series History
The Tigers lead the all-time series 56-33 and have won each of the past four conference series against the Pride. Towson has won the opening game of the series five-straight times.

Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday's game will feature an Easter Egg hunt around the ballpark. Eggs will either contain candy or slips for prizes to be collected at the marketing table.

Sleeping In Your Own Bed
The Towson baseball team has not had an overnight stay in a hotel since leaving Richmond on Feb. 25. The Tigers will not stay in a hotel until they depart for William & Mary on April 5. The stretch of 40 days is the longest in recent history for the program.

Two Midweek Games Added
Towson has announced the addition of a pair of midweek games on April 3 and April 4. The Tigers will host VCU on Tuesday and La Salle on Wednesday. Both games will have a 3 p.m. first pitch at Schuerholz Park.

Adams Fans 10
Senior Michael Adams struck out a career-best 10 hitters over eight innings to pick up the victory over Delaware. It is the first time a Tiger pitcher fanned 10 in a CAA game since Tyler Austin punched out 10 Georgia State hitters on April 20, 2012.

Masters' Unnoticed Play
One of the most important plays in Sunday's victory over Delaware was a play that went unnoticed by many. With one out and Masters on first, a slow chopper to second nearly ended the inning with a double play. Except for the fact that Masters avoided the tag long enough to allow the runner to reach first safely. That play kept the inning alive and allowed the Tigers to score four runs in the inning and extend the lead to 8-1.

Gimblet Drives in 5 in Finale
Colin Gimblet had one of his best days as a Tiger in the series finale at Delaware as he went 4-for-5 with five RBIs. He helped break the game wide open with a bases-clearing triple as part of a four-run fourth inning.

Martinez Comes Out Swinging
Trey Martinez came out swinging in the CAA opening series as he went 5-for-10 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs over the three games.

10 Runs Allowed in CAA Series
Towson allowed just 10 runs in the three-game series against Delaware. It is the fewest runs allowed in a CAA series since giving up 10 runs against James Madison April 8-10, 2016.

On Deck
The Tigers host a pair of midweek games as they welcome VCU on April 3 and La Salle on April 4 at 3 p.m. both days.
