Rain Expected as Bowling Green Visits Canisius on Wednesday

BUFFALO, N.Y. (Interstat) — Two teams looking to halt recent slides will meet under wet conditions Wednesday when the Bowling Green Falcons face the Canisius Golden Griffins in nonconference baseball at Demske Sports Complex.

First pitch is scheduled for evening, with a forecast of 64 degrees and rain.

Bowling Green (12-17) enters having lost three straight, including a 19-6 home defeat to Dayton on Tuesday. The Falcons have allowed 40 runs in their last two games.

A bright spot has been second baseman Anthony Mitta. He homered and drove in two runs in the loss to Dayton, extending a hot stretch. Over his last 10 games, Mitta is batting .410 (16-for-39) with three home runs and 11 RBIs.

Canisius (10-18) last played on Saturday, falling 6-5 at Niagara. The Golden Griffins have lost four of their last five.

The Interstat game simulator projects a narrow Bowling Green victory, 6-5.
