NORFOLK, Va. --
 Following its two-game sweep of Binghamton, the Old Dominion baseball team will look to build a winning streak in midweek action this week against Norfolk State and VMI.

The Monarchs host crosstown foe NSU on Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET and then take on VMI, Chris Finwood's alma mater, on Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET. These will be ODU's first midweek games of the year.

Through the first five games of the season, the Monarchs are hitting .312 with 14 extra-base hits and have a 4.40 ERA on the mound. 

Matt Burch (.500, 3 RBI, 6-6 SB), Tommy Bell (.421, 4 XBH, 7 RBI), Kyle Battle (.400, 1 HR, 4 RBI) and Matt Schwarz (.316, 1 HR, 6 RBI) have paced the ODU offense. 

On the mound, last week's Sunday starter Ryne Moore (0-0, 11.25 ERA) is slated to start against the Spartans. Tommy Gertner, a southpaw transfer, is then scheduled to make his ODU debut on Wednesday against VMI.
