KNAPP CREEK, N.Y. (Interstat) — Fordham visits Saint Bonaventure on Thursday afternoon for the opener of a three-game Atlantic 10 series at Fred Handler Park, with first pitch scheduled under a forecast of 58 degrees and rain.

The Rams (23-29) will look to snap a four-game losing streak after dropping three games to Saint Louis over the weekend, capped by a 7-6 loss on May 10. Fordham has lost six of its last seven overall. The series, originally set for a single game Thursday, continues Friday and Saturday.

Saint Bonaventure (12-34) also enters on a slide, having lost four straight — including an 18-9 defeat at La Salle on May 8 and a 10-8 loss to the Explorers on May 10. The Bonnies have dropped nine of their last 10.

Players to watch

Fordham right-hander Robbie Stewart has been effective in short stints of late. Over his last four appearances, Stewart has not allowed an earned run, covering 9 innings across outings against George Mason, Iona, La Salle and Rhode Island. However, his most recent decision came in the 7-6 loss to Saint Louis on May 10, when he allowed 1 earned run on 1 hit over 3 innings with 3 strikeouts. In his prior outing May 8, he was tagged for 4 earned runs on 4 hits in 1 inning vs. Saint Louis.

James Capellupo is a key arm for the Bonnies. The right-hander threw 5 scoreless innings at La Salle on May 10, allowing 1 earned run on 0 hits with 4 strikeouts in a no-decision. That followed a rough outing May 3 at Saint Joseph’s, where he allowed 5 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings. Capellupo has thrown multiple shutout innings in four of his last five appearances.

Recent results

Fordham’s most productive player in Sunday’s loss was catcher Tommy McAndrews, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and an RBI. Right-hander Aidan Dowd started and took a no-decision, allowing 5 earned runs on 5 hits over 6 innings with 5 strikeouts.

For the Bonnies in Sunday’s loss at La Salle, center fielder Anthony Fernandez went 3 for 3 with a homer and 2 RBIs, and shortstop Chris Hoalcraft was 1 for 3 with a homer and 2 RBIs.

Outlook

The Interstat game simulator projects a 4-0 Fordham victory. The Rams have struggled offensively in recent games, scoring three runs or fewer in six of their last seven. Saint Bonaventure has allowed 10 or more runs in five of its last six games.

The series continues with doubleheaders Friday and Saturday, as both teams look to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
