On the mound, Winthrop will turn to freshman Matt Crohan who has pitched 6.2 innings in his collegiate career, giving up two runs on four hits.

The Terriers' offense is led by Rock Hill native, Seth Neely, who has 17 hits, 8 RBIs and 13 runs scored so far this season. Right-handed pitcher Jesse Morris (3-1) will start for Wofford.
