4.1.04 | Baseball

PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Atlantic 10 Conference weekend series between Temple and Xavier at Temple's Ambler Field has been moved back until Sunday and Monday due to the weather.

The doubleheader scheduled for Saturday will now begin at Noon on Sunday with two seven-inning games taking place. On Monday, the teams will conclude the three-game series with a nine inning affair beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Temple (12-7, 3-0) is currently riding a six-game winning streak and wielding some hot bats. Both shortstop Jason Connor and leftfielder Al Roach are hitting an identical .423. Both players have 33 hits in 78 at-bats. Connor is also on pace to break the individual single season record for runs batted in during a season. The Norristown native has driven in 36 runs in just 19 games. The record is held by George Clark, who drove in 66 runs in 1985.

Xavier comes to Philadelphia with a 7-18 overall record and 1-2 in Atlantic 10 play.
