NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion welcomes No. 11 Southern Miss to Norfolk for the first time ever this weekend at the Bud Metheny Complex. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. ET on Friday, 3 p.m. ET on Saturday and 12 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Old Dominion enters the weekend rolling offensively. The Monarchs have posted 10 or more hits in each of the last six games and are hitting .310 as a club during that span.
Erik Stock (.347, 2 HR, 15 RBI) is hitting .476 in the last five games, while Will Morgan (.240, 6 HR, 23 RBI) has been the top run producer and home-run threat for the Monarchs. Matt Schwarz (.350, 15 RBI, 5 SB), who has missed the last 12 games due to illness, is expected to return to the lineup.
On the mound, Luke Krantz (0-0, 6.48 ERA) and Morgan Maguire (3-4, 3.18 ERA) will start on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Sunday's starter is TBA.
Last year, ODU won 2-of-3 against the Golden Eagles in Hattiesburg. USM has not lost a Conference USA series since.
Friday's game will be also the annual Bark In The Park game.
For the only time during the 2018 season, fans will be able to bring their dogs into the game. The first 200 dogs in attendance will receive an ODU collapsible dog bowl.
A reminder that all dogs must be on a leash.
Fans can also bring donations for the SPCA and receive a $2 discount off a ticket. Donations accepted include canned pet food, bleach, paper towels, cat litter and detergent. Cash donations will not be accepted.
