Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra Pride Baseball team, fresh off a three-game conference series against William & Mary, hosts Massachusetts-Lowell Monday and travels to Fordham on Tuesday to complete a five games in five days stretch.

The Pride (3-8) dropped two of three to the Tribe. Hofstra posted a 6-4 win in game one of a doubleheader Friday behind the strong pitching of Nick Kozlowski and Bowie Matteson. Kozlowski allowed three runs and three hits over six innings, while Matteson earned the three-inning save, allowing two hits and one unearned run with five strikeouts. The Tribe took game two, 11-1, and then outslugged the Pride, 21-12, in the finale on Sunday.

Massachusetts-Lowell (3-6) split a doubleheader Sunday at Fairleigh Dickinson, posting a 6-4 victory before a 5-1 loss. The River Hawks and Pride have met twice before, splitting a doubleheader at Hofstra to close out the 2014 season. In Hofstra's 18-11 win, Ryan Donovan knocked in six runs and Brad Witkowski drove in three.  

Hofstra's road game at Fordham was originally slated for Wednesday, but was just moved to Tuesday. The game will be part of a doubleheader for the Rams, who play the River Hawks prior to taking on the Pride.  The Rams are currently 4-12 on the season. The teams met last season at Hofstra with the Pride taking an 11-4 victory behind a grand slam home run from Brian MacDonald and five innings of scoreless relief from Graham Tebbit.

The Pride hit the road this weekend, traveling to Delaware for a three-game CAA series against the Fightin' Blue Hens.
