ROCK HILL, SC- The Winthrop baseball team is set to host a three game series with Toledo this weekend at The Winthrop Ballpark despite being forced to make changes to the schedule due to inclement weather. Friday's game has been moved to start at 2:00 p.m. and there will now be a double header on Saturday with the first game scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and the second game to begin 45 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.  This is the fourth match-up between the two teams with the Eagles leading the series 2-1.

The Rockets (0-3) offense is led by juniors Ryan Callahan and John Martilotta. Callahan averaged .500 during opening weekend in Nashville, getting six hits, two of them home runs, while scoring two runs. Martilotta got three hits including a home run of his own, two runs batted in and averaged .273. Right handed pitcher Steven Calhoun pitched 6.2 innings over the weekend, the most of any Rockets' thrower, giving up three runs on six hits and producing an earned runs average of 2.70.
