Saturday - Sunday, April 6-7
Handler Park at McGraw-Jennings Field

LEADING OFF

• The Bonnies return home to Handler Park at McGraw-Jennings Field for just the second time this year after playing 22 of their first 23 games on the road.
• SBU opened the season with 19 straight games away from home, starting with an 844-mile trip to Charleston, S.C. for three games at The Citadel before a 669-mile trek to Louisville in the second weekend of the season. A 735-mile jaunt to Presbyterian followed by a 744-mile drive to Middle Tennessee completed the first four series on the year.
• St. Bonaventure will look to snap a four-game losing streak that began in the home-opener vs. Le Moyne last Tuesday before dropping a three-game series at George Washington to begin Atlantic 10 play last weekend. 
• The Bonnies take on Dayton this weekend. The Flyers swept a three-game series in Ohio last year, taking game one 17-3 before closely contested 5-2 and 3-2 scores in the final two games. When the Bonnies and Flyers last met in Western New York, the Bonnies won the series by taking the first two games, 6-5, and 4-3 in 11 innings. 
• Dayton opened up Atlantic 10 play last weekend as well, taking two of three games at home vs. Fordham. The Flyers dropped the Friday contest, 12-2, but bounced back with wins of 12-6 and 6-5 over the Rams to take the series.
• The A-10 schedule consists of 24 conference games as the race to make the A-10 Tournament is on. The top seven teams from the final regular season conference standings will earn bids to the A-10 Tournament which will be held this year from May 21-25 in Tysons, Va.

ON THE LINEUP CARD
Junior David Marshall is the only Bonnies player to start every game in the same position, making all 23 starts at shortstop so far. Adam Rankie has also started all 23 games with 20 in right field, two in center and one in left. Marshall has moved around the lineup, though, hitting in six different spots in the order, most on the team.
