HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac baseball team kicks off its penultimate MAAC series this weekend with a critical three-game set with a trip to Fairfield to take on the Fairfield Stags beginning with a single-game Friday followed by a doubleheader Saturday. Friday's game was moved up from Sunday due to anticipated weather.
Scouting Fairfield
The Stags have been among the top teams in New England this season, coming into the weekend ranked No. 5 in the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Poll. Fairfield sports a 28-20 record and is currently fifth in the MAAC with a 13-8 record. Since April 27, the Stags are 3-5 after falling in two of three at Niagara. The Stags are one of the best offensive teams in the league with a .271 batting average, led by Jack Gethings .391 batting average, .444 on base percentage, .518 slugging percentage and 77 hits. Anthony Boselli leads the team with 15 doubles and 40 RBIs while Giacomo Brancato leads the team with five home runs. Michael Sansone and Austin Pope have been solid as starters for the Stags as Sansone leads the team with five wins and 63.2 innings pitched while Pope leads all starters with a 3.28 ERA and 65 strikeouts. Fairfield has four relievers out of the bullpen with sub-3.00 ERAs, led by Eli Oliphant with a 4-1 record, 2.20 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 41 innings pitched.
All-Time vs. Fairfield
The Bobcats are 17-27 all-time against the Stags and will meet this weekend for the first time since the 2017 season when the Bobcats opened the weekend with a win before falling in the final two games of the series. Fairfield has won four of the last five matchups between the two teams.
Last Time Out
The Bobcats picked up their fourth series win of the season last weekend as they took two of three at Iona. Quinnipiac and Iona split last Saturday's doubleheader before the Bobcats closed out the series with a win Monday in 14 innings thanks to a 14thinning RBI single from Ian Ostberg.
NEIBA Poll
Quinnipiac received recognition in the NEIBA Poll for the first time this season as the Bobcats are receiving votes. Last season, the Bobcats spent most of the year as the No. 4 or No. 5 team in New England.
MAAC Standings
The Bobcats are atop the MAAC Baseball standings once again this season after winning two games at Iona last weekend to give them a .722 winning percentage in conference play with a 13-5 record. Canisius sits in second at 15-6 as they head into their bye weekend while Marist and Manhattan are tied for third at 12-6. The Bobcats are also tied for the third-most overall wins with 22.
Workman's Workin'
Andrew Workman pitched in three games over the past week and saved his best performance for last as he tossed 6.2 innings, mostly in extras, against Iona on Monday to pick up the win in the 14 inning game. Workman earned his third win of the season as he pitched the longest outing of his career. He now has a 3-3 record with a 1.25 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and an opponent batting average of .180.
Bullpen Dominance
Quinnipiac's bullpen allowed just one run over the past weekend in 14 innings of work against the Gaels, including 9.2 innings in the 14-inning victory on Monday. Workman pitched in 8.1 innings in that series while Colin Donnelly pitched 4.2 innings without allowing a run. Matthew Draper rounded out the bullpen efforts with his first career save.
Awesome Ostberg
Ian Ostberg recorded another two hits in the final game at Iona and is up to 58 hits this season. He has a .462 batting average over the past nine games, including hits in eight of those nine games. He leads the team this season with a .337 batting average, .401 on base percentage and his 58 hits this season.
Kevin's Killin' It
Kevin Huscher has a hit in four straight games and came around to score five runs in the series at Iona and has six runs in those last four games. He continues to expand on his impressive senior year as he has 39 hits, 25 runs score, 10 extra-base hits and 20 RBIs.
Everyday I'm Doublin'
Brian Moskey comes into the weekend with 199 career hits as he looks to become the 10thplayer in program history with 200 career hits. He also continues to climb the all-time doubles list as he is currently tied for fourth with Wilson Matos '07 and Ben Farina '11 with 45 doubles. He has recorded 10-plus doubles in each of his four seasons with the Bobcats.
Swinging Scaf
Liam Scafariello has nine home runs this season and is just one shy of becoming the second player with 10-plus home runs in three seasons in his career, looking to join Nate Noyes '00 as the only players to achieve the feat.
Starting Pitching
Quinnipiac's starting pitching has been among the best in the MAAC as all three weekend starters rank in the top 10 in opponent batting average as Chris Enns in fourth at .223, Tyler Poulin at .248 and Arthur Correira at .250.
