The Diamond Camels have been away from the friendly confines of Taylor Field lately as they have made back-to-back trips to the Sunshine State and playing six of the last seven away from Buies Creek. Campbell did have a slight break last Tuesday with a contest against non-conference opponent Norfolk State.

The series between the Fighting Camels and the Seahawks was one of the longest consecutive series that Campbell had until the 45 year streak was snapped last season. The Seahawks and the Camels had faced off every year since 1964. UNC Wilmington holds a 50-34 advantage in the all-time series lead. This is the first game of a home-and-home series between the two as the first installment of the series was postponed due to snow in the Buies Creek area on March 3.

UNC Wilmington comes in having dropped two of three to conference rival George Mason this past weekend. The Seahawks were defeated in games one and two but rebounded to take the series finale 5-4 on Sunday.

Coming into the tilt on Wednesday the Seahawks hold a 15-12 record with a 3-3 record in Colonial Athletic Association play. UNCW holds a 12-9 record in non-conference action but an 8-8 record in non-conference play while playing at Brooks Field. The Seahawks haven't ventured away from Wilmington very often having played just five contests away from home.

The Seahawks boast a strong lineup from the plate and on the bump. At the plate UNCW will look to the bats of Hunter Ridge and Grayson Evans. Ridge has posted a .371 average with eight doubles and 20 RBI while Evans has accumulated a .358 average coupled with 27 RBI off of nine doubles and two home runs. Overall as a team UNCW has a .303 batting average.

UNCW has a team ERA of 4.59 led by the efforts of Cameron Roth and Justin Bradley who post a team best 2.42 and 2.67 ERA respectively. Campbell will likely face off against Steven Davis who has posted a 9.24 ERA in 12.2 innings pitched but has started three contests for the Seahawks.

The Fighting Camels are looking to get back onto the winning side of things after dropping all three tilts to conference rival Stetson this past weekend. Campbell has posted a 13-4 record in non-conference play and a 1-1 record in non-conference play while on the road.

Campbell's probable starter will likely be either left hander Jeff Rydman or righty Ben Brown. Rydman has a 2-0 record after pitching 21 innings in eight appearances with four being starts. Rydman has worked his way to a 6.43 ERA while striking out 13 and only walking five. Brown has a 7.02 ERA in 16.2 innings pitched. Brown has registered a 2-3 record while holding opponents to a .292 average against.

Following this midweek contest Campbell will return home to face off against Atlantic Sun member Florida Gulf Coast in a three game set. Game one is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon with a doubleheader to follow on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
