WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary baseball will conclude the home portion of the regular season as they welcome Northeastern to Plumeri Park for a three-game series. The start of Friday's game has been pushed back to a 6:25 p.m. first pitch. Both Saturday and Sunday's game will get underway at 1 p.m.

Fans are encouraged to arrive at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday for the senior day ceremony on the field.

LAST TIME OUT
A late rally fell just short as W&M nearly overcame a four-run deficit in the late innings, falling to George Mason 8-7 on Wednesday evening. The Tribe out-hit the Patriots 13-6 but was hurt by 16 runners left on base. INF Jamie Laskofski went 2-for-5 with three RBI, while center fielder Ben Parker extended his school-record hitting streak to 34 games, going 3-for-4 with two walks as he reach base safely five times.

NEARING HISTORY... AGAIN
Parker's 34-game hitting streak is now tied for the longest streak in CAA history. The record is currently shared by three other players: Chris Baker (Old Dominion), Matt Townsend (James Madison), and Mark Brockell (James Madison). Parker already broke the school record on Sunday against Charleston that previously stood at 32 games (Ben Guez, 2008).

The Los Altos, Calif. native has put up video game numbers this year, ranking second in the nation in hits with 86. He's also ninth in batting average (.424), sixth in doubles (22), seventh in total bases (144), and 14th in runs (63). He leads the CAA seven different statistical categories.

IRON MAN
RHP Daniel Lingle leads the nation with 28 games pitched. The sophomore hurler has racked up 24 strikeouts over 32.0 innings of work.

Z-BO
RHP Zach Boyd has racked up 10 strikeouts in his last two outings. The freshman has a 1.98 ERA with an 11/2 strikeout-to-walk ratio since April 22.

TWENTY-TWENTY CLUB
W&M is one of two teams in Division I (Dayton) with multiple players that have posted hitting streaks of 20+ games, with Parker (34 games) and Carmichael (23) both reaching that plateau.

CARDIAC TRIBE
W&M has 15 come-from-behind wins this year out of their 20 total victories. The Tribe has won five games in which they trailed by at least four runs, in addition to three walk-off wins.
