Players to Watch (CSI):  Despite a trio of losses last weekend, CSI got good production from newcomer Angel Santiago and returner Thomas Joyce, who both notched a trio of hits with three RBI between them.  Steven Collica added a pair of hits, including a double and an RBI as well.  On the hill, Collica was also sharp tossing four innings while allowing a lone earned run.  Frank Gulko, Nick Metzger and John Esposito got the starts a week ago against Molloy.
Players to Watch (UB):  Only two players got multiple hits in last weeks three-game set with Queens College, with Andre Amrchesseault leading the way with five hits in 10 at-bats with three doubles, a triple, and a pair of RBI.  Matt Rodriguez earned a pair of hits as well, adding a run scored.  Anthony Pascale notched two RBI's on a base hit as well.  On the mound, Anthony Martino was sensational in the Knights' lone win, tossing seven innings, allowing one earned run with eight strikeouts.
News & Notes: For the second time in as many weeks, this will be a first-ever series for the Dolphins, as they battle UB for the first time in what obviously marks the first road meetings against the teams as well.  UB was predicted to finish fifth in the ECC Preseason Poll, with CSI placing sixth right after them.  UB is 1-0 at home this season, beating Queens last weekend, 3-1, here, before falling in a road doubleheader the following day.  Today's games will feature one nine-inning game and one seven-inning game as a doubleheader.  The three-game series concludes on Monday at CSI for a single, nine-inning, game at 3:30 PM.
