First Pitch is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

SERIES

The Tigers lead the all-time series 13-0 winning a pair in 2019. On April 9, 2019, they won 6-4. 

HOWARD

Howard is coming off of a 3-1 series win over Robert Morris University. RMU took game one in the series. On Sunday's final game, Howard came back from a 9-6, six-inning deficit, recording three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game at nine. Freshman Sydni Jones came up to the plate after, Junior Kalita Dennis was intentionally walked, and knocked a floater to right-center to score the winning run. 

The 5-2 start is the best in program history.

Jones recorded seven RBIs, six hits, a double, and scored twice. Graduate Student Kiana Carr recorded 19 strikeouts, two wins, and a save in three appearances. Junior Kalita Dennis (Elk Grove, Ca.) returned to the lineup after missing the series against Bowie St., and her presence was felt after only scoring one run in the first game. She exploded over the next three games, recording seven runs, seven hits, four RBIs, four doubles, walked twice, a solo homerun in the fourth game, and was intentionally walked in extra innings that sparked the winning run. Howard Broke RMU's four-game winning streak after the Colonials opened the season sweeping the four-game series versus North Carolina Central, in run-rule fashion. 

Dennis was named MEAC player of the week for her performance, while Jones was named rookie of the week.
