AT A GLANCE
Both Embry-Riddle and Webber International are looking for something this weekend at Sliwa Stadium. The Eagles will be in search of the No. 1 seed for The Sun Conference Tournament in Fort Myers, Fla. while the Warriors will be looking for a berth to the tournament. The Eagles need one win for the top seed while the Warriors need one win for a ticket to City of Palms Park.

The offense has a .284 batting average and .363 on-base percentage while the Eagle pitching staff boasts a 2.36 ERA in 405.0 innings.

Darryl Knight leads the team with a .348 average with 57 hits, 11 doubles, three triples and seven home runs and 39 RBIs. Kevin Lindheim is 10 hits short of 150 for his two-year Eagle career and is currently hitting .321 with 60 hits, 13 doubles and 36 RBIs for the Blue and Gold.
