The Series: The two teams had to have their series pushed back last year due to weather, limiting the set to just a single doubleheader. Clarkson and RIT split, with the Knights winning the first and the Tigers claiming game two.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-5, 0-2 Liberty League): Graduate student Kent Wilson is closing in on a few career milestones, as he is just six hits short of 150 and seven runs shy of 100 for his collegiate career, figures that fewer than 15 players have achieved at Clarkson. Wilson ranks third in the conference in batting (.434) and is fourth in hits (23). Sophomore James Mason started the season in the latter portion of the middle of the lineup but has moved up to the leadoff spot and has helped the Knights' offense with his .512 on-base percentage, which ranks second in the Liberty League.

Key Stats for RIT (7-9, 2-0 Liberty League): The Tigers are averaging 6.5 runs per game, though that number has been boosted by nearly a full run due to a 21-run outburst on Wednesday against Keuka College. Adam Marsh is batting .382 with 26 hits, while Trent Rapp is batting .365 with three home runs and 16 runs batted in. Jarin Moses has also scored 17 runs while driving in 14 more. Alex Slotter is tough to hit, allowing just a .203 average to opponents with 30 strikeouts in 22.1 innings, but he has had bouts of wildness with 11 walks and 10 hit by pitches.
