HIGH POINT, N.C. (Interstat) — The Liberty Flames and High Point Panthers will meet for the second time in a week Tuesday in a nonconference baseball matchup at George S. Erath Field at Coy O. Williard Baseball Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for the evening. The forecast calls for cloudy skies and a temperature near 45 degrees.

Liberty (7-3) enters with momentum, having won five of its last six games, including a three-game sweep of Hofstra over the weekend. The Flames defeated High Point 9-3 last Wednesday in Lynchburg, Virginia.

High Point (7-5) took two of three from Binghamton in its most recent series, capped by a 4-3 win Sunday.

A key matchup will feature Liberty right-hander Bradley Zayac against High Point right-hander Aidan Paul. Zayac has been effective in two starts this season, allowing two earned runs over 9 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts. He earned a win against Hofstra on Sunday, going five innings.

Paul is coming off a strong seven-inning outing against Binghamton, where he allowed two runs on just two hits. In his previous appearance against Maine on Feb. 22, he worked 3 2/3 innings of relief, giving up one run.

Liberty’s offense is powered by hot hitters like Nick Barone, who homered in Sunday’s win, and Riley DeCandido, who drove in three runs. High Point’s Willie Ponce hit a two-run homer in Sunday’s victory.

According to Interstat, the Flames are projected as slight favorites with a 57.1% probability to win. The service’s game simulator predicts a 6-5 Liberty victory.

Following Tuesday’s contest, Liberty will host Harvard for a three-game series beginning Friday. High Point faces a daunting trip to No. 1-ranked Florida for a three-game set starting Friday.
