Friday - 3:00 p.m.: RHP Matt Hockenberry (0-0, 3.18 ERA vs. LHP Esterlin Paulino (0-1, 1.35 ERA)
The Owls are coming off last weekend's season-opening series at Old Dominion, where it went 1-2, winning the middle game of the set in extra innings in the first game of last Saturday's doubleheader. In a series where the Owls matched up very well, starting pitching kept them in the games, holding the Monarchs to a .181 batting average.
Freshman Patrick Peterson, who made his debut on the mound, went five innings strong, allowing just one run on two hits, while striking out four. Peterson will get the nod to make his second collegiate start on Saturday, when he goes up against right-hander Tyler Boone. Matt Hockeberry will get the series started on the hill for the Owls, while Steve Nikorak will pitch the series finale on Sunday.
Junior Jordan Queja had a breakout opening series in his first weekend donning the Cherry and White, as he singled in all three games and collected a team-high five hits. Senior Taylor Juran also gave the Owls a boost at ODU, where he hit .444 and hit safely in all three games.
The Aggies host the Owls after dropping a midweek game by a count of 8-5 at Elon on Tuesday.
In head coach Joel Sanchez's first weekend as A&T's new skipper, the team went 1-2 in its opening weekend at home against Navy. A&T picked up the victory in the second game of the series behind sophomore pitcher Tyler Boone, who went 8.0 innings and only issued a run on four hits.
Dairio Little and Marquis Riley guided the offense, as each have hit in all four games so far this season.
