The UMBC Baseball team looks to begin America East play on a high note when it hosts Binghamton for three games this weekend.

Due to anticipated weather on Saturday, the teams will play a 7inning/9inning doubleheader on Friday at 3 p.m. Game three is tentatively scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m.

Probable Starters:

Game 1: RHP Luke Johnson (0-3, 5.40 ERA) v RHP Gabe Driscoll (2-2, 4.24 ERA) 
Game 2: LHP Jayden Shertel (1-3, 2.01 ERA) v RHP Ryan Bates (0-1, 6.85 ERA)
Game 3: RHP Sam Downs (2-0, 1.99 ERA) v LHP Nelson Berkwich (1-2, 3.86 ERA) 

The Retrievers enter the series on a four-game winning streak, including three straight games with double digit runs.

Last time out,  UMBC rolled to a 13-7 win over visiting Delaware State on Wednesday afternoon. 

Six different Retrievers drove in a run, while Eddie Sargent came on in relief and worked 5.1 scoreless innings to pick up the win as UMBC rallied from an early 5-0 deficit 

How it Happened:

• Delaware State jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, and the lead grew to 5-0 in the second.
• Sargent then entered with two outs and a runner at second in the second, and got out of the jam
• UMBC quickly trimmed the lead in the bottom of the second
• Luke Trythall hit a leadoff single, Matthew Best was hit by a pitch and Dawson Baracni walked to load the bases with no outs
• Kyle Eddington drove in a run on a fielder's choice, and Danny Wyatt followed with a three run homer, the first of his career, to make it just a 5-4 DSU lead.
• Wyatt would tie the game in the fourth on an RBI single to center field to score Best, followed by a sac fly from Jayden Shertel to score Baracani and give the Retrievers a 6-5 lead.
• In the fifth, Baracani singled home Matt Ryan to make it 7-5
• The lead grew to 8-5 in the seventh on an Eddington RBI single
• UMBC busted the game open in the bottom of the eighth with five runs 
• Trythall drove in a pair with a double, and Best followed him with a three run homer to make it 13-5
• Delaware State would get a pair of runs in the top of the ninth, but would get no closer
