HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac baseball team continues MAAC play as the Bobcats travel to Western New York to take on the Purple Eagles for a three-game set beginning with a doubleheader on Friday followed by a single game Saturday with each day scheduled for 12 p.m. starts.
Scouting Niagara
The Purple Eagles kicked off their 2019 MAAC schedule taking two out of three from Rider this past weekend. After dropping the first game of the series to the Broncs 13-5, Niagara won the last two games 1-0 and 12-9. As a team, the Purple Eagles have a batting average of .229 as a team. There is no batter with a .300 batting average with 10 or more at bats on the season. Josh Marchese leads the team with a .294 batting average. The Purple Eagles pitching staff has struggled this season, posting a 6.90 ERA. Niagara's strength in their pitching staff lies in their starting pitching. Matthew Brash leads the Purple Eagles with 53 strikeouts in 36.0 innings pitched and has an ERA of 3.00. In his last outing against Rider, Brash threw his first career complete game shutout. Tyler Howard has two complete game victories on the season as well.
