The opener was the closest game against UCF, with the Big Red scoring single runs in each of the final three innings before losing, 4-3. Cornell then pounced on UCF for three runs in the first inning of Saturday s second game against a starter with a sub-1.00 ERA, but the Knights surged ahead on a fifth-inning grand slam and won 8-3. UCF won Sunday s finale, Junior Tommy Wagner and sophomore Dale Wickham each posted a pair of three-hit games at Rollins, but the Big Red lost 6-5 and Freshman Mark Fraser collected his first collegiate hit in Game 1, then his first collegiate home run of the three-run variety in the night cap. - OR - 30 Price (Jr., L/R) About Harvard: The Crimson are coming off an 11-4 loss Wednesday at Holy Cross following doubleheader splits against Fairfield and Albany last weekend.

Clemson s record was (.608) in Pepicelli s six years with the program, including three seasons as the associate head coach, two more as the assistant head coach, and one as an assistant coach. He became the Tigers first pitching coach to lead a staff to the College World Series in his first season with the squad, then led the pitching staff to a season earned-run average below 4.00 for four consecutive seasons from He recruited and developed Matt Crownover, who earned freshman All-America accolades in 2013 and Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year honors in Pepicelli was instrumental in assembling Baseball America s ninth-ranked 2015 recruiting class.

He then spent nine seasons as the head coach and assistant athletic director at Fisher. Pepicelli was named the Empire 8 Conference Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2007, the latter honor coming during a season that saw the Cardinals advance to the NCAA Division III College World Series for the first time in program history.

5 About Dartmouth: The Big Green dropped its home opener Wednesday against Quinnipiac, 5-4, for its fifth loss in the last six games. Dartmouth had been in Florida for the better part of the previous two weeks, losing two of three against South Florida last weekend and both tilts of a two-game mid-week set at North Florida.... The Big Green is batting.225 as a team with senior Joe Purritano leading regulars with a.276 average. Junior Michael Ketchmark has a team-best three home runs and eight RBIs. Sophomore Kyle Holbrook has an eight-game hitting streak, but has not played in a couple weeks.... Game 1 probable junior Michael Danielak (RHP, 1-2, 2.21) has nine strikeouts in each of his previous starts this year. Senior Beau Sulser (RHP, 1-0, 2.84) is slated to start Sunday s night cap, having worked 2.2 innings Wednesday against Quinnipiac. Junior Chris Burkholder (RHP, 0-0, 2.41) has a team-high eight relief appearances. Series History vs. Dartmouth: The Big Green has a advantage in the programs all-time meetings, though Cornell has won seven of the last 11 meetings. Of particular note in that stretch was the Big Red s win over the Big Green in the 2012 Ivy League Championship series, capped in the 11th inning of Game 3 on a walk-off home run by Chris Cruz 14. Earlier that season, Connor Kaufmann 14 tossed a no-hitter against Dartmouth. Twin Terrors: Junior Tommy Wagner and sophomore Dale Wickham enter league play ranked second and third, respectively, in batting average among Ivy hitters. Both Wagner and Wickham had two three-hit games Wednesday at Rollins. Wagner has now reached base safely in his last 14 games, and Wickham leads the team with three games in which he s had multiple RBIs. Power Surge: It took the Big Red all 40 games of the 2015 season to hit six home runs, but it took just the day of March 12 to produce seven homers this season. Six of those blasts came in the second game of a doubleheader at Wofford, which set a single-game program record. Junior Cole Rutherford had two home runs in that game, plus one in the twin bill s opener. Cornell s 10 home runs are the most among Ivy League schools. Byrne Notice: Senior LHP Michael Byrne surrendered just one earned run in his first two starts this season, looking to regain his form from the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He has twice earned All-Ivy League accolades, garnering second-team honors in both his freshman and sophomore seasons. Though he struggled to an inflated ERA last season, he still led the team with 45 strikeouts. Cornell has two other returning All-Ivy winners both senior Jordan Winawer (2014) and junior Tommy Wagner (2015) have garnered honorable mention. For Starters...: Of Cornell s 40 games last season, just 11 were started by pitchers who return to the team this season. Senior LHP Michael Byrne has eight of those, while the other three were late-season outings by junior RHP Paul Balestrieri. The New Jersey product has made the full-time transition to the rotation after primarily serving as one of the team s best late-inning options over his first two years on East Hill. Junior RHP Tim Willittes is also in the starting ranks after missing the entirety of the 2015 season with an injury. Up Next: Cornell is scheduled to return to non-league play Tuesday with a doubleheader at St. Bonaventure. The Big Red is then slated to make its last inter-divisional Ivy League trip next weekend with doubleheaders at Brown on Saturday and Yale on Sunday.
