The Bearcats swept a three-game series in Lexington last year, 4-2, 8-4 and 2-1.

For Saturday's game, VMI will provide a service shuttle due to potential congestion. Shuttles will run regularly from the South Institute Parking Lot across from the CPTF to North Post for both the baseball game and the men's lacrosse team's home opener against Richmond University at noon on Drill Field #2. The shuttles will run from 11 a.m. until approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the baseball game. Parking remains available at the Marshall Hall lot and the parade grounds.

Red-shirt junior Josh Hollifield went 3-5 Tuesday at Old Dominion University, with an RBI, a run scored and a double.  

The Keydets swept a doubleheader Sunday to close out their series against Quinnipiac University (Conn.) 7-3 and 14-7. Senior Jon Clines had nine RBI in the second contest of the day to set a program single-game record. Clines was 2-3 with two RBI in the opener, but was just getting warmed up for his record-breaking performance in the nightcap. The McLean, Va. native doubled to right center in the bottom of the first inning to plate three Keydets, and was just inches from a grand slam. He followed with a three-run home run in the second and homered again with two runners on in the eighth. For the day he went 5-8 with three runs, two doubles, two homers, 11 RBI and a walk.

VMI (4-8) has a quick turnaround after the series, hosting James Madison University Tuesday at 3 p.m.
