Mason will look to sweep the season series with the Spiders on Tuesday after rallying for a 12-10 win earlier this season in Richmond. Trailing 8-1 after four innings, the Patriots scored three runs in the top of the fifth, five runs in the top of the eighth and three runs in the top of the ninth to snap Richmond's 11-game winning streak.

Tuesday's game marks the beginning of an eight-game road trip for Richmond. The Spiders continue to boast one of the most powerful offenses in the country, ranking fourth in home runs with 50 and tenth in the nation in slugging percentage at .465. Junior first baseman Jacob Mayers has a team-high 42 RBI's and is hitting .320 this season, while senior outfielder Phil Ruzbarsky is hitting a team-best .359.

Junior outfielder Jordan Hagel is hitting a team-best .324 with 55 hits, 29 runs scored, 16 doubles and 14 stolen bases, while senior shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez has driven in a team-high 33 runs while hitting .294.
