NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion and Marshall are set to square off at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W. Va. for the final Confernece USA series of the season. The Monarchs hold a 6-4 overall record against Marshall and will look to avenge a series loss to the Thundering Herd at the Bud last season.

Old Dominion (31-20, 14-13 C-USA) enters the matchup fresh off its third straight series win with a 6-2 victory over Middle Tennessee on Sunday. With the series win, the Monarchs solidified their spot in the 2016 Conference USA Baseball Tournament in Hattiesburg, Miss. ODU is led by a .327 average from Zach Rutherford, who also leads the team with 67 hits in 51 games. Connor Myers is the only other Monarch hitting above .300, as he holds a .311 batting average and leads the team with 16 doubles and five home runs. As a team, ODU is hitting .257, while the pitching staff holds a 4.68 ERA.

Marshall (30-18, 19-8 C-USA) dropped its final non-conference game of the regular season, 3-1, to Wake Forest after the game was called in the bottom of the seventh due to thick fog. Tyler Ratliff led the team with two hits, including his 10th home run of the season. Freshman starting pitcher Joshua Shapiro took the game into the sixth striking out seven during his time on the mound. As a team, Marshall is hitting .284 and holds a 4.37 ERA.
