FRED HANDLER PARK, Knapp Creek, N.Y. (Interstat) — Fordham visits Saint Bonaventure on Friday in an Atlantic 10 matchup, with the first pitch scheduled for the afternoon and evening as the teams conclude a three-game series. The Bonnies took the opener 8-5 on Thursday.

The Rams (23-30) look to even the series against the Bonnies (13-34) in cold, rainy conditions. The forecast calls for 42 degrees and rain at game time.

Fordham right-hander Chase Hanawalt will be a key figure. Despite taking the loss Thursday, he tossed seven innings, allowing no hits and three earned runs while striking out 10. In his past seven appearances (Interstat) — four starts and three relief outings (Interstat) — Hanawalt has posted a 3.86 ERA with 35 strikeouts over 35 innings. He also threw seven scoreless frames against La Salle on April 18, fanning eight.

Saint Bonaventure’s Joey Calabretti is coming off a monster game Thursday, going 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs. The left fielder has homered in four of his last six games, with seven RBIs in that span. He also pitched 1 2/3 innings of relief Friday but allowed four earned runs. Calabretti is batting .289 with six homers on the season.

The Bonnies snapped a six-game losing streak with Thursday’s win. Saint Bonaventure had dropped 10 of its previous 11, including a sweep at La Salle last weekend. The Rams entered the series on a six-game skid, their last win coming April 26 against George Mason.

In Thursday’s game, Fordham’s Tommy McAndrews homered and drove in two, while Taylor Kirk went 4-for-4. Saint Bonaventure’s Derek Duval earned the win, allowing two earned runs over six innings, and Manuel Castro collected four hits.

A computer simulation by Interstat projects Fordham winning 4-0 on Friday.

The teams will meet again Saturday for the series finale. Fordham is scheduled to return home after the weekend, while Saint Bonaventure heads on the road.
