Players To Watch (FSC): Sierra Cardenales leads the Rams with a .368 batting average and has collected 12 RBIs with only eight strikeouts. Sitting in second with a .365 average, Lori Michalowski paces the way with 17 RBIs and is hard for opponents to strikeout as she has tallied just four throughout the season. In the circle, Julia Walpole has appeared eight times with a record of 4-2 and boasts a 3.82 ERA.
News & Notes: The Dolphins lead this series 9-8 but since 2010 it has been all about the Rams.  Farmingdale State is 7-3 against the Dolphins since 2010 after the Dolphins opened the series back in 2000, 6-1. Last year Staten Island took game one 13-3 before the Rams rallied back in game two to win 9-6 to prevent the sweep.  This year the Dolphins bring a stacked team with national power in the circle and on the plate and will want to pick up a pair of wins this afternoon to keep their win streak alive and set the CSI school record.
