Baseball Preview: Elon

It's a rematch of the 2019 CAA Championship participants

WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Seahawks continue conference play this weekend with a three-game series beginning Friday against rival Elon. The series kicks off with a 6 p.m. start at Brooks Field on Friday and continues Saturday with a 4 p.m. start and concludes on Sunday at 1 p.m.

UNCW (13-8, 2-4 CAA) dropped 2-of-3 last weekend at Charleston, winning the first game behind CAA Pitcher of the Week Landen Roupp, but came up short in the second and third games.

Elon (6-11), meanwhile, will be playing the first conference games of the season. The Phoenix split a pair of games with nationally-ranked East Carolina last weekend at Latham Park. ECU won the opener, 15-0, but the Phoenix topped the Pirates, 2-1, in the second game of the weekend series.

Roupp was named CAA Pitcher of the Week for the first time this season after delivering six shutout innings in a 6-1 win at Chartleston. Roupp will make the start Friday and will be followed by Luke Gesell and Ryan Calvert.

This weekend's series will be streamed on FloSports.tv and will be audio streamed by 95.9FM The Breeze. Links can be found on the baseball schedule page.

As a reminder, UNCW's game on Apr. 6 at Coastal Carolina has been postponed due to Covid protocols within the Chanticleer program.
